InformationWeek Podcast: Is AI the Best Watchdog for the Supply Chain?
InformationWeek, Tuesday, October 27th, 2026
CISOs from Infor and New Charter Technologies and a Smith & Associates COO debate whether AI is the best watchdog for supply chain risk.
InformationWeek's Joao-Pierre S. Ruth hosts Derek Bush, CISO of Infor, Ryan Davis, CISO of New Charter Technologies, and Art Figueroa, COO of Smith & Associates.
The panel discusses whether and where AI should monitor supply chains for data integrity issues, fraud and other real-world risks, and how fast supply chain problems can spread.
They weigh concerns about AI's rising costs, false positives and overzealous alerts, and how AI has changed both defenses and attack methods.
The guests also share capabilities they want AI to add, then test their strategies in a tabletop exercise against fictional disruptions.
