“ Technology is key to see where you’ re exposed – not just at tier one but across n-tier suppliers,” says Jos.“ Without technology it becomes almost impossible; you need real-time signals that flag exposure and trigger mitigation.”
AI is playing a growing role in these capabilities, helping assess large amounts of information across more spend categories than was possible before. In the same Sapio Research survey, 71 % of UK businesses admitted they must invest more in technology to better identify and mitigate geopolitical risks.
AI as the catalyst for proactive risk management AI is emerging as the critical technology enabling businesses to move from reactive firefighting to proactive risk management. Its ability to process vast amounts of data, identify patterns and generate actionable insights at scale makes it uniquely suited to address the complexity of modern tariff and risk management challenges.
“ AI lets you screen massive datasets globally and across languages, then link the data to create new insights,” notes Jos.
