Black Holes, AI, And Supply Chain Digital Twins - A Chat With OII.AI CEO Bob Rogers

Send me a messageQuestion: what do black holes, AI, and digital twins of supply chains have in common? Answer: Bob Rogers, CEO of OII.ai - a company using AI to create digital twins of supply chains, allowing planners to quickly and accurately run what-if scenarios to improve their planning. And the black holes? Bob cut his AI teeth creating digital twins of black holes to understand what was happening around supermassive black holes in space.I invited him to come on the podcast to talk about how that work can be translated (many years later) into supply chain digital twins.He graciously agreed and we had a fascinating conversation covering how the research on black holes led to supply chain digital twins, how having a digital twin of your supply chain can help, and why an AI is necessary to do that. I learned loads, I hope you do too...If you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - feel free to leave me a voice message over on my SpeakPipe page or just send it to me as a direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.
