A Fireside Chat: Can AI Handle Edge Cases?

​A supplier misses a deadline. A bill of materials is incomplete. Inventory records disagree with what is on the floor. What should AI do when the standard process stops giving a clear answer?

​Join Russell Chung, UC Berkeley’s Chief Procurement Officer, and Rushil Desai, Metalinked’s CTO, for a fireside chat on the judgment behind manufacturing and supply chain decisions. Russell brings experience leading procurement and supplier operations. Rushil leads the development of AI systems for operational workflows at Metalinked.

​Together, they’ll work through examples of missing context and conflicting information: when AI can recommend a next step, when it should explain its uncertainty, and when a person needs to make the call. They’ll also discuss how to test these cases in a real workflow and measure accuracy and rework.

​Hosted by Metalinked. The one-hour session includes audience Q&A. Free to attend.
