AI In Procurement | Friend or Foe?
Short answer. Friend.
But only if you stay in charge.
AI is not here to replace procurement professionals. It’s here to take the boring, manual, error-prone stuff off your plate so you can focus on the things that actually matter.
Strategy. Judgement. Relationships. Influence. Negotiations.
Used well, AI makes procurement faster, sharper, and more credible. Used badly, it becomes expensive noise.
AI works best when it supports experienced procurement professionals, not when it’s used to bypass or replace them.
