The Role of Applying Artificial Intelligence in Improving Supply Chain Management and Sustainability: Evidence from Egypt Ports

This study aims to determine to what extent the application of AI could optimize supply chain management and contribute to the sustainability of Egyptian ports? Egyptian ports were selected to serve as an empirical study in this research, assessing their application of AI and their supply chain management. Interviews were conducted with a group of 7 managers from different Egyptian ports. The results of the interviews showed the main potential risks, ethical principles, and sustainability goals of applying AI to optimize the supply chain and thus ensure the sustainability of Egyptian ports. It also put forward suggestions and recommendations for overcoming these challenges and thus to formulate a comprehensive national AI strategy that aligns with both the sustainable development goals and the overarching vision of Digital Egypt (Vision 2030).
