Procurement's AI Evolution Is More Human Than We Think

It seems that there is always a study or analyst op-ed that warns us of the jobs that will be overtaken by artificial intelligence (AI). Oxford University predicted that nearly half of all positions will likely be automated by 2033. And perhaps, even scarier (or encouraging, depending on how you look at it), statics agree that only a fraction of these job losses will happen over the next three years – anywhere between 4%–9%. Leading strategy consultancies confirm the prediction in several studies as well. While such predictions may seem to be riddled with doom and gloom, sometimes we need to remind ourselves of the vast potential for innovation.
