Abstract: In an era marked by increasing global uncertainties from pandemics and geopolitical tensions to climate-related disruptions, supply chain resilience has emerged as a strategic imperative. This paper explores the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing the adaptability, visibility, and responsiveness of modern supply chains. By delving into real-world case studies and recent advancements, we analyze how AI-powered tools such as predictive analytics, intelligent automation, and machine learning enable companies to anticipate disruptions, optimize logistics, and accelerate decision-making. Rather than merely reacting to crises, AI equips organizations with the foresight and agility needed to proactively manage risks and sustain operations. While the integration of AI is not without challenges including data privacy concerns, integration complexities, and workforce readiness, this study underscores its potential as a cornerstone technology for future-proofing global supply networks. Ultimately, we argue that AI is not just a tool for efficiency, but a critical enabler of resilience in a volatile world.
