Summary

NIST is convening a workshop to advance an Open Knowledge Network (OKN) for US national supply chain resilience, drawing on experts from academia, industry, and government. The workshop addresses three scenarios - water supply, manufacturing contracts, and freight transportation - with the goal of producing concrete project proposals. While data-informed and privacy-preserving approaches are mentioned, AI and algorithmic governance are not the primary subject matter.
