In the summer of 1997, the world witnessed a clash of wits like never before as Deep Blue, IBM’s formidable chess-playing computer, went head-to-head with the grandmaster Garry Kasparov. It was a battle of brains and algorithms, where circuits and code challenged the strategic brilliance of one of the greatest chess minds. In an unexpected twist, Deep Blue emerged victorious, marking a historic moment, and firmly asserting the prowess of AI in strategic decision-making. By late 2010, as advancements in machine learning and AI technologies started gaining momentum, some companies began exploring ways to leverage AI for optimisation and efficiency in supply chain processes. But recent breakthroughs in the field hold the potential to fundamentally change supply chain operations.
