Beyond LLMs: The Rise of Decision Intelligence and Certified Optimization

Generative AI has changed how enterprises create content and answer questions. But when the task is making a decision with real operational and financial consequences, a different class of technology is required: certified optimization.

In this episode, Adam Dejans Jr., Decision Intelligence Specialist, Author, and Executive Advisor, sits down with our host David O'Keefe, to unpack what decision intelligence really means, how it shows up in supply chain operations today, and what governance and human oversight look like when optimization drives high stakes decisions.

The conversation covers why certified optimization delivers decisions that are provable and repeatable rather than simply plausible, how supply chains are using optimization engines to navigate uncertainty at scale, the governance and human oversight structures that responsible AI adoption requires, the defensive design patterns that keep decision systems auditable and trustworthy, and what it will take for optimization engines like Gurobi to become foundational infrastructure for enterprise AI driven decision making.

This is a conversation for leaders who want their AI strategy grounded in decisions they can stand behind, not just outputs they hope are right.
