Free AI - Procurement Says No Ep49

Rich and Ed talk about AI quite a lot this time, because that's all anybody seems to talk about at the moment. They even have real examples and seem to know what they are on about (or possibly winging it - only you can decide). We have news of 60 new "proctech" start ups, most of which we don't believe or understand; we have contradictory data about the use of AI in procurement (shock); news of CIPS @COP31 (oh, the air miles, the carbon footprint); building defence through buying indigenously (is that a real phrase?); and we discuss just what exactly is WAR! good for - absolutely nothing or perhaps improving innovation, particularly in drone technology. Plus more questions from our listener(s): One who is concerned that their bid responses from suppliers are written by AI (and therefore at least or only 80% correct) - we tell you how to spot that pesky AI response. Another who asks what happens when AI takes over their negotiations - should real people also be involved and will a sky-setting-fire scenario result be inevitable. What free AI is available for cheap-shot procurement teams with no budget? And, a dull person in Swindon wants to know how to focus their risk analyses. And remember to check out our wonderful "Ask Rich and Ed bot" AI companion app - which will answer all of your questions with genius and brilliance. It's now even got a "mind map" of Rich and Ed's brains. We couldn't believe it!
