AI and Sourcing:
what actually changes
AI presenters The analysts delivering this session are AI generated. The research, the figures and the recommendations behind them are our own.
Every vendor deck this year says AI. This session skips the noise and names the three places AI genuinely changes the sourcing job: the reading (contracts, quotes, and audit letters read in full, every claim cited to its clause), the market (every deal placed against what comparable buyers pay, continuously), and the standing work (agents that watch, draft, and brief while the team sleeps).
All three are shown live on the platform, and the session is equally clear about the fourth layer that must never change: the deciding. Nothing signs, sends, or spends without a person, everything cites its source, and the audit trail covers the machines like any other actor.
It closes with the honest pilot: one contract, dropped on Vera tonight, ten minutes to see what this changes for your team.
