Artificial intelligence (AI) brings unparalleled new opportunities for logistics and supply chain management. But many organizations remain uncertain about how best to implement AI.
In this one-hour webinar, Chris Caplice of the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics and Lior Ron of Uber Freight:
- Define AI in relation to logistics.
- Describe the differences between traditional AI and generative AI, with specific use cases in both the virtual and physical worlds.
- Outline the dependencies for realizing generative AI’s potential in logistics.
- Explain when using generative AI doesn’t make sense, with a look at the evolving role of human intelligence in logistics management.
- Explore what’s on the AI horizon and what a future state might look like.
