In short
The article explores how agentic AI, computer vision, and vertical applications are transforming supply chains from rigid, rule-based systems into adaptive, autonomous decision engines. Key insights include the shift from deterministic to non-deterministic systems, the rise of vertical AI delivering measurable impact quickly, and how AI moves beyond visibility to provide root-cause analysis and corrective recommendations. The piece also addresses cultural resistance as a significant barrier to adoption, as agentic AI disrupts organizational hierarchies by exposing root causes and reducing information control.
