The latest book by MIT Professor Yossi Sheffi on global supply chains is an exploration of one of the most critical and complex systems of our modern economy. In The Magic Conveyor Belt, Professor Sheffi examines how supply chains have been affected by the societal and economic shocks of the early 2020s, demystifying their murky depths, twists, and turns. He also illustrates how supply chains actually worked well during the pandemic, why technology alone is not enough (despite being the key to sustainability), and how human and A.I. collaboration is the future.

Of the many issues raised by the advance of AI in the workplace, one of the most contentious is that it could deepen the divides that separate the world’s haves from the have-nots. A new report from the IMF warns of these deepening inequalities.

Professor Yossi Sheffi goes on live TV to weigh in on how new tech and AI will be impacting workers in the future. Are jobs in danger? What will people have to do in workplace's of the future? What workers fears are well-founded? Where is the truth? WBZ-TV's David Wade reports.
