Altana AI Stock

Artificial intelligence startup Altana has launched its next-generation Atlas, a dynamic map of the global supply chain for businesses, governments and logistics firms. The AI-powered Atlas uses public and private data to map the supply chain and includes a large language model-informed assistant that responds to user queries in plain language. The system has been used by entities like U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Maersk, and Boston Scientific, among others, to monitor supply chain issues, comply with trade laws, and root out forced labor.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is being used by brands to manage supply chains and eliminate the risk of forced labor and other human rights violations. Supply-chain management software FRDM uses AI to fill data gaps in supply chains and mine large data sets for risk intelligence. Other companies like Altana AI, (en)visible, Provenance, and Sourcemap are also incorporating AI to increase visibility into global supply chains and reduce or eliminate social and environmental risks.

The US Customs and Border Protection agency has partnered with Altana, a supply-chain mapping company, on a three-year contract worth nearly $10 million. Altana's AI-based Atlas, which compiles data to track global goods movement, will be used to help enforce the US ban on goods potentially linked to forced labour in China.
