摘要：

Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing risk management in university procurement by enabling proactive, data-driven strategies to address complex challenges in supply chain resilience, compliance, and stakeholder demands.  This study analyzes the application of AI across several critical domains: proactive risk identification through real-time data analysis, dynamic supplier profiling for enhanced selection and contract management, and workflow automation to significantly improve operational efficiency. The implementation of these technologies, however, presents significant challenges, including stringent data governance requirements, ethical considerations, and institutional resistance to change. This paper examines strategic solutions to these challenges, such as leveraging cooperative purchasing models and adopting tiered risk categorization frameworks. The findings demonstrate AI's potential to enhance supply chain resilience, optimize resource allocation, and align procurement activities with institutional sustainability goals. The conclusion emphasizes that successful, sustainable integration requires a risk-based approach to AI procurement itself, coupled with continuous model refinement and strategic capacity building.
