A recent study by researchers from the University of Alabama in Huntsville explores how social media and artificial intelligence can be leveraged to improve supply chain responses during disasters. Led by doctoral candidate Vishwa Vijay Kumar, the research focuses on using Twitter data from the COVID-19 pandemic to identify urgent needs and coordinate aid effectively. The team developed algorithms to analyze tweets for actionable information, enabling real-time resource allocation. This approach aims to address challenges such as geolocation of requests and efficient distribution of essential supplies. Future research will expand on these findings to cover other disaster scenarios.
