- Resilience in Humanitarian Supply Chains: Addressing Artificial Intelligence and Big Data Hurdles Across Borders Emmanuel Ahatsi Oludolapo Akanni Olanrewaju Engineering Reports ABSTRACTThe study aimed to evaluate the key barriers and challenges hindering AI‐BDA adoption in humanitarian supply chains in Ghana and South Africa. Guided by the sociotechnical systems theory, a descriptive research design was employed, utilizing structured surveys to collect quantitative data from 200 supply chain professionals in Ghana and South Africa. SPSS was used to analyze trends and patterns in AI‐BDA adoption barriers. The findings revealed that resource‐related barriers, particularly skill gaps among staff and lack of technical expertise (mean = 3.09), represent the most significant challenges to AI‐BDA adoption. These were closely followed by technical barriers such as data integration complexity and limited data accessibility, while organizational barriers like management support and resistance to change were found to be relatively less prominent. The study concludes that human resource development and technical infrastructure enhancement are more critical than organizational change management in implementing AI‐BDA for humanitarian supply chains in these regions. It recommends targeted training programs, improved data governance frameworks, and increased policy support to facilitate AI‐BDA integration in humanitarian operations.
