Today on AI: Voice or Victim, we talk to Chris Andrassy, co-founder and CEO of Astral Insights, an AI enablement firm helping Fortune 500 companies modernize their supply chains. From spreadsheets to smart assistants, Chris walks us through how AI is actually being deployed—not just theorized—to streamline operations, enhance forecasting, and preserve institutional knowledge on the factory floor.

We dive into:

• The real difference between machine learning and GenAI in supply chains
• The emotional ROI of automation (yes, you read that right)
• A real-world example of using GenAI to preserve “tribal knowledge” in manufacturing

Whether you're AI-anxious or AI-curious, this episode gives you practical, human-centered insight into what it takes to lead in the age of machine intelligence.
