- Abstract: Organizations increasingly need to reassess their supply chain strategies in the rapidly modernizing world towards sustainability. This is particularly true in the United States, where supply chains are very extensive and consume a large number of resources. This research paper discusses how AI can support decision-making for sustainable supply chains with a special focus on carbon footprints. These AI technologies, including machine learning, predictive analytics, and optimization algorithms, will enable companies to be more efficient, reduce emissions, and display regulatory and consumer demands for sustainability, among other aspects. The paper reviews challenges and opportunities regarding implementing AI-driven solutions to promote sustainable supply chain practices in the USA.

chain automation [71.77396882936951]
Agent-based supply chains have been proposed since early 2000; industrial uptake has been lagging.
We find that agent-based technology has matured, and other supporting technologies that are penetrating supply chains are filling in gaps.
For example, the ubiquity of IoT technology helps agents "sense" the state of affairs in a supply chain and opens up new possibilities for automation.
