A Gartner report indicates that over half (55%) of supply chain leaders believe agentic AI will decrease the need for entry-level hiring, and 51% expect it to lead to overall workforce reductions. However, high-performing supply chain organizations are leveraging AI to reinvent work processes and talent development rather than just reducing headcount. The report emphasizes the critical need for companies to redesign roles, skills, and workforce processes to enable collaboration between humans and AI.
