Explainable AI and Blockchain for Smarter Supply Chains

This P-Talk explores the transformative potential of explainable AI (XAI) and blockchain in reshaping global supply chains. Dr. Avinash BM, Associate Professor at the Kazakh-British Technical University, introduces how these technologies can enhance trust, transparency, and resilience in supply chains, which are increasingly vulnerable to shocks. He highlights the unique role of XAI in ensuring fairness, accountability, and bias-free decision-making and demonstrates how blockchain guarantees data integrity, traceability, and secure cross-border collaboration.

The talk underscores that productivity in supply chains must be redefined to encompass transparency, equity, and sustainability as well as speed and cost. By linking technology adoption with values such as trust and inclusiveness, this P-Talk challenges stakeholders to view AI and blockchain not as add-ons but as essential pillars of smarter, fairer, and greener supply chains.
