AI-enabled governance reduces supplier environmental controversies, study finds

A new study published on arXiv explores how artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to improve environmental governance within global supply chains. The research investigates whether suppliers exposed to AI-enabled environmental oversight from buyers experience fewer environmental controversies. Utilizing text analysis on data from 2,505 suppliers of U.S.-listed firms between 2020 and 2024, the study found a negative association between AI-enabled governance and subsequent environmental controversies. This effect was more pronounced in countries with higher AI readiness and better regulatory quality, suggesting AI's potential in sustainable supply chain risk management. AI

IMPACT AI integration in supply chain oversight can mitigate environmental risks and improve corporate sustainability.
