AI adoption is not really a technology question. It's a trust question, and trust levels shift dramatically depending on where a company operates and who its customers are. In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton and co-host Bill Huber, retired VP CFO at VELUX, speak with Theodora Lau, founder of Unconventional Ventures, about trust and AI adoption, open banking and data interoperability, fragmented data versus bad data, workforce retraining, and the lessons global supply chains can borrow from fintech. Theo explains how to tell healthy friction from harmful friction, treat fragmented data differently from bad data, judge AI initiatives by outcomes instead of token usage, and build systems that keep people, not service providers, in control of their own data. Jump into the conversation: (00:00) Introduction (09:41) Theo Lau's path from telecom to fintech innovation (17:35) Why trust, not technology, drives AI adoption (20:17) What GDPR and the EU AI Act reveal about governance and trust (28:04) Lessons supply chain can borrow from open banking and fintech (38:27) What separates real AI transformation from bolting AI onto broken processes (43:13) The difference between fragmented data and bad data (54:16) A JD Power stat reshaping how consumers ask financial questions Additional Links & Resources: Connect with Theodora Lau: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vineetvashishta/ Learn more about Unconventional Ventures: https://www.linkedin.com/in/billhuberatlanta/ Connect with Bill Huber: https://www.linkedin.com/in/billhuberatlanta/ Learn more about VELUX: http://www.velux.com Learn more about our hosts: https://supplychainnow.com/about Learn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.com Watch and listen to more Supply Chain Now episodes here: https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-now Subscribe to Supply Chain Now on your favorite platform: https://supplychainnow.com/join Work with us!

In this episode of Case Studies, Casey sits down with Mel Torrie, founder and CEO of Autonomous Solutions, for a remarkable conversation on entrepreneurship, faith, resilience, and building one of the world's leading autonomous robotics companies from the ground up.Raised on a farm in Canada as the oldest of nine children, Mel shares how long days driving tractors inspired a vision that would eventually lead him to pioneer autonomous technology across agriculture, mining, construction, and logistics. What began as a university research project at Utah State evolved into a 25 year journey filled with setbacks, near-bankruptcies, massive technological breakthroughs, and partnerships with companies like John Deere and SoftBank.Mel opens up about the painful lessons that shaped his leadership style, why he rejected fear based leadership culture, and how humility became the foundation of his company's success. He also shares the deeply personal story of losing his son during one of the darkest seasons of his business career, and how faith carried him through unimaginable adversity.This episode is a powerful masterclass on endurance, optimism, leadership, and believing in a future no one else can yet see.

Machine learning is rapidly advancing the decision-making capabilities of today’s computers, yet without an in-depth knowledge of the programming it involves, many engineers and researchers find current technology inaccessible. Dr Paul Robertson at Dynamic Object Language Labs (DOLL) in Massachusetts believes that a solution to the issue may have been hidden in plain sight: machine learning itself. His ideas have now culminated in ‘Pamela’: a universal, open-source language capable of modelling real-world systems, and building plans to overcome challenges. The language and its related tools could soon open up significant opportunities in the emerging field of artificial intelligence.

Jamie Burke, Founder, and CEO of Outlier Ventures provides an overview of bitcoin and blockchain and the ways that companies can aggressively push their businesses forward with emerging technologies.   Burke is a pioneer in the blockchain industry. As Europe's 1st Web 3.0 blockchain venture builder, he and his team have pushed forward on utilizing blockchain as a significant key to emerging trends (AI, Mixed Reality, IoT, and Autonomous Robotics) that will play key roles in multiple industries such as Industry 4.0, eGovt, Health, Mobility, and Smart Cities.   Burke talks about his background in blockchain and cryptocurrency. He explains that he wanted to launch Outlier Ventures as a means to deal with the technology and tools that would be fundamentally changing the web and how it is structured, and subsequently society as a whole. Discovering bitcoin, he decided to immerse himself in the space, studying the technology, rooting out the problems, and identifying areas that could be improved upon.    Burke discusses the disconnect with proprietary business models building on open source technologies, meaning that even if an entity could create something truly unique, there was the problem of someone else potentially coming in and copying what you've created, and doing it at a lower price even.    The technology guru explains the many ways that Outlier Ventures can assist companies, as an advisor or board member, helping them find the most efficient and aggressive ways to utilize emerging technologies. As he discusses, Outlier Ventures can help them design their token economy or assist them in designing their governance model. He explains how their staff of analysts really dig into the technology and the technology layers to maximize a company's market-forward position.    Continuing, Burke talks about how Outlier Ventures invests in projects that reinforce their previous investments, which is a markedly different approach than what is considered a traditional VC path in which investments are diversified to offset risk.    Burke is a regular speaker at various conferences around the globe, and throughout his career he has amassed a strong network of significant corporate partners, investors, and government agencies as well, working together to build better tech for the benefit of many industries.  

This week on the podcast we’re featuring a series of conversations from the AWS re:Invent conference in Las Vegas. I had a great time at this event getting caught up on the latest and greatest machine learning and AI products and services announced by AWS and its partners. Today we’re joined by Aaron Ames, Professor of Mechanical & Civil Engineering at Caltech. Aaron joined me before his talk at the Deep Learning Summit “Eye, Robot: Computer Vision and Autonomous Robotics” and I had a ton of questions for him. While he considers himself a “hardware guy”, we got into a great discussion centered around the intersection of Robotics and ML Inference. We cover a range of topics, including Boston Dynamics backflipping robot (If you haven't seen it, check out the show notes), Humanoid Robotics, His work on motion primitives and transitions and he even gives us a few predictions on the future of robotics.
