MENGENAI EPISOD INI
Welcome to the latest episode of the Data Powered Innovation Jam, where data meets disco and AI grooves with funk. After a long summer break, our hosts return with fresh stories, musical nostalgia, and cutting-edge insights into the world of supply chain superintelligence. In this vibrant and eclectic episode, we’re joined by Guillaume Waline, Senior Manager of Alliances at Prewave, a company pioneering AI-driven supply chain transparency and resilience.
From reminiscing about summer holidays and funk band glory days to exploring how Diana Ross’s “Chain Reaction” might secretly be about logistics, the episode blends humor, music, and serious tech talk. Guillaume shares how Prewave uses AI to monitor global supply chain risks in real time—scanning the web in over 400 languages to detect disruptions, compliance issues, and ESG concerns. We dive into the challenges of predicting unseen risks, the evolution of AI from manual tagging to custom LLMs, and the importance of human accountability in AI systems.
The conversation also highlights our partnership with Capgemini Ventures, the role of data integration across ERP systems, and the future of sourcing intelligence. Whether you're a data enthusiast, supply chain strategist, or just here for the Bee Gees impressions, this episode promises insight, innovation, and a touch of groove.
