Supply Chain Superpowers through Federated Learning with Alan Bersin

In this episode of Simply Trade, Alan Bersin continues his discussion from Part 1 on the evolution of supply chain security and trade compliance. Major topics covered include moving from federated search to federated learning, building supply chain visibility, engaging the C-suite, and strengthening partnerships between government and the private sector.

Key Discussion Points:

- Alan Bersin discussed the evolution from the federated search model used by CBP to the new paradigm of federated learning being developed by Altana. Federated learning allows risk signals to be shared without commingling private data.

- An example was provided of how federated search could be used with a company like Nike to validate supply chain information on a shipment of branded goods.

- The importance of supply chain visibility beyond the first tier of suppliers was highlighted, especially with regulations like the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act.

- Actions the private sector can take to engage C-suite executives on compliance transformation included assessing supply chain visibility and available technologies.

- Companies should monitor indicators like increases in CBP inquiries (CF28s) and enforcement actions (CF29s) that may point to gaps requiring attention.

- Geopolitical variables like US-China tensions and potential conflict over Taiwan could introduce major disruptions, emphasizing the need for agile, data-driven supply chain risk management.

- Partnership between government and the private sector was stressed as critical to effectively address compliance challenges through a federated learning approach.
