How Logistics Leaders Can Use AI Right Now - ReadWrite

We may not have robots like C-3PO from "Star Wars" or Rosie from "The Jetsons," but there's no denying that the machines we do have are getting smarter. But are business leaders taking advantage of their capabilities? It's easy to imagine adopting AI in some indefinite future, but the technology already has the capacity to improve your ROI -- provided you actually implement it. While AI is making waves across industries, the logistics space stands to benefit more than most. According to a report from DHL and IBM, "the network-based nature of [logistics] provides a natural framework for implementing and scaling AI." It's no surprise, then, that companies are already experimenting with AI implementation, achieving small wins that help set the stage for much bigger ones. Small wins are key because they help test theories, establish best practices, and achieve buy-in from key stakeholders.
