A Cork artificial intelligence (AI) supply chain company is hosting a competition to determine whether man or machine has the edge when it comes to procuring goods and services for business purposes.

The contest, hosted by Keelvar, is being pitched as procurement's sequel to the famous Kasparov Vs Deep Blue chess matches in the mid-90s.
