Origin in the 1580s, a back-formation from navigation, or else from Latin navigatus, past participle of navigare "to sail, sail over, go by sea, steer a ship," from navis "ship" (from PIE root *nau- "boat") + root of agere "to set in motion, drive, drive forward" (from PIE root *ag- "to drive, draw out or forth, move"). Extended to balloons (1784) and later to aircraft (1901). AI and machine learning (ML) can help everyone navigate through the supply chain and everyday life. Let's start with navigating the supply chain. Robots anyone? AI is slowly but surely automating warehouses, delivery routes, and supply chain planning, etc. The list of potential navigational tools by AI and ML coming to the supply chain are endless. A few other navigational tools for the supply chain are worth mentioning. Navigating security intrusions, gauging internal compliance of vendor usage, and supply chain mapping. Humans have been using AI and ML to solve everyday problems for some time. Automating mundane tasks is the first place to start. Computer programs and software have enabled humans to navigate everyday life for more than fifty years. Chat bots to solve problems are commonplace. Navigating the daily commute. RIdesharing. Autopilot. Spam Filters. It is easy to figure out the future of AI and ML. Everything that can be automated will be automated. AI and ML will continue to enable smooth navigation through the stormy seas.
