Title: AI in Operations Management

Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) has a significant impact on the operating processes of numerous companies as well as on our daily lives. Spurred by the increasing availability of data, the rapid development of learning algorithms, and new optimization methodologies, an increasing number of researchers are focusing on and studying the impact of AI on the nature of operations. In this talk, I discuss and develop a framework for AI and review the literature on the interface of AI and operations management. Further, I identify and highlight several future research directions regarding AI from the operations perspective.
