AI Meets Geopolitics: How Hence Global Is Helping Businesses Survive Trade Wars

AI Meets Geopolitics: How Hence Global Is Helping Businesses Survive Trade Wars

With supply chains, increasing trading conflicts, and changing governance, businesses around the world are struggling with global AI forecasting systems. In the face of this chaos, one specific startup is taking AI forecasting to the next level. Personally, I would call this project a hidden gem, and it’s marketed under the name Hence Global. The AI-equipped predictive model was built by Hence AI, a UK startup focused on aiding organizations to cope with market volatility while possessing predictive and analytic advances.

The AI sector has been asynchronously growing with deep learning mechanisms taking the driver’s seat alongside global franchisers. But predictive AI solutions are used differently as they assist immensely with market competition. This development can assist in strategic planning, making Hence Global the eye-pleasing AI to changing technology industries.

From Western regulation shifts in competition with China to the Euro-China resource allocating changes, these sanctions are impacting the oil and IP powered business sectors. Hence, global shifts in policy are impacting traditional methods of infrastructure and IP fueled industry management on continents worldwide.

Human-operated risk management processes are unequivocally outdated owing to the multi-dimensional nature of today’s rapidly shifting global events. Throughout the globe, businesses require immediate actionable insights along with proactive context-sensitive notifications. This is the intersection where AI is useful. Specifically, geopolitics AI systems that integrate natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML) outperform humans when it comes to scrutinizing, assessing, and understanding political movements on a global scale.

Introducing Hence Global: Your AI Risk Navigator.

Hence Global is a self-learning platform tailored towards businesses looking for perpetual insights into their geopolitical surroundings. The system amalgamates news articles, government publications, sanctions lists, and financial documents, among other publicly available documents, to determine the degree of risk associated with a particular business relative to its operational environment.

Imagine having an AI geopolitical strategist that can provide briefings specific to your industry, competitors, and suppliers. Furthermore, Rather than having to deal with the overflow of information AI systems generate, Hence Global serves as a primary alert system with all of the relevant information and offers alerts that can prevent significant losses to finances such as imminent tariffs that can halt the functioning of a factory.

Key Capabilities of Hence Global: 
  • Real-Time Monitoring: Automated monitoring of trade, sanctions, political volatility, and regulation for various regions.
  • Contextual Briefings: Tailored reports to match the client’s industry, business model, and geographic area of operation.
  • Competitive Intelligence: Analyze the global impact to your suppliers, partners, and even competitors.
  • Affordable Insight: Begins at $1,500 per year. This isn’t only a tool for Fortune 500 firms, but is available for startups, SMEs, and NGOs.
Built by Experts, Powered by AI 

Hence Global isn’t simply another aggregator of data. It is a product of seasoned professionals with years’ worth of experience in geopolitical risk and enterprise AI. Sean West, co-founder and former managing director at Eurasia Group, teamed up with Palantir’s Steve Heitkamp to launch Hence AI with the vision of democratizing advanced risk intelligence.

The platform is powered by Palantir’s Foundry and Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP)—an exceptional infrastructure for merging vast datasets and employing AI models from different silos. Hence Global goes beyond information collection and insight generation by considering a company’s stature as a supplier, client, or competitor. This dynamic modeling enables Hence Global to provide assessments that are real-time, nuanced, and highly relevant.

Every Executive Should Know This AI Application  

Picture yourself as a Southeast Asian fintech startup trying to scale. Suddenly, a new regional trade policy seems to endanger your operations. While everyone else is trying to figure out what a headline means, your team gets a clarifying alert from Hence Global detailing the breakdown of new regulation, its projected timeline, and its impact on your regional partnerships.  

Alternatively, picture yourself as a manufacturing firm that relies on rare-earth materials from a politically volatile country. Hence Global can alert you to possible sanctions, labor strikes, or even political shifts weeks beforehand, allowing you to switch to secondary suppliers or renegotiate contracts ahead of time.  

This is one of the many examples of AI-enhanced risk management—aimed at predicting possible factors that may derail business operations—which in today’s hyperconnected world isn’t optional, but a requirement.  

Adoption So Far And Initial Industry Feedback  

Hence Global is already proven to capture the attention of early adopters within the legal and tech industry, as well as finance. Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman law firm and travel startup TravelPerk were among the first to adopt Hence Global’s capabilities for client report generation and regulatory sentiment monitoring.

It’s even more impressive that companies are now using the platform for live strategic modifications. For instance, a cryptocurrency company received an alert from Hence Global about trade sentiment restrictions pertaining to certain areas. This understanding enabled the company to reallocate marketing efforts and calibrate platform vernacular to ensure compliance and trust.

Risk Management Strategy for Post Pandemic Era

In today’s world where geopolitical hazards are seen as an omnipresent risk rather than an infrequent variable, strategy-defining parameters of AI, in the form of Hence Global, are forcing leaders to adapt their views on strategy, and landscape navigation. Businesses that work in high volatility or cross-border markets can no longer afford to preserve labor-intensive, reactive models of risk.

Alteration from risk management to risk anticipation enabled by AI technology denotes a vital shift. Emphasis is placed on not facing a disaster with a back-up plan but on having the capability to predict potential problems using information.

Why It Is Important For Computed Intelligence Organizations

From our headquarters in Aixcircle, we advocate for the application of AI in core departments such as finance and analytics, logistics, and now even political strategic planning. Hence Global is a testimony of everything we stand for: automated intelligence, easy access to expert resources, and decisions made rationally based on data.

Businesses that use AI at the strategic level, not just operational, will sit at the forefront of innovation and industry advancement in the future. Today, AI moves beyond simply enhancing operational efficiency; it is categorized as a strategic business asset. 

Summary

The accelerating trade wars, paired with the already existing unpredictability of the global market, increases the need for more effective response strategies, as well as changes to survival techniques for staying competitive. As such, Global’s AI-powered risk advisor is seen as more than just an innovation. It sets the guidelines for the integration of AI in geopolitics and business through the announcement of the new advisor. 

Regardless of whether you are a technology driven business, global enterprise, or a startup, this is an advanced model for risk management. It’s intelligent, scalable, and designed to mitigate risks before they turn catastrophic. 

We encourage you to reach out to Aixcircle in order to learn more about how AI can be seamlessly integrated into business strategies and processes.
