We think of AI as living in the cloud — but it runs on physical chips, factories, and supply chains that break in the real world. Jonathan Green talks with supply-chain expert Mohannad Gomaa about the logistics of AI: why modern supply chains are dangerously brittle, how AI helps spot trends and de-risk sourcing, and why resilience — not just efficiency — is the strategy that matters now.
Key Takeaways:
• Modern supply chains are brittle — the tiniest disruption can cascade into shortages
• AI helps you spot trends and decide where (and from whom) to source
• Forecasting that stops at volume level leads to costly misallocation
• Diversify your supplier portfolio; don't optimize purely for cost
• Resilience, not just efficiency, is the supply-chain strategy for the AI era

"It's that resilience part — one of your supply chain strategies — that's what really matters." — Mohannad Gomaa
