AI Agents for Logistics, Pitfall?
The logistics industry has seen a relatively low adoption of AI solutions, with less than 2% of industries utilizing AI. Recently, companies such as Happy Robot have pivoted from AI voice agents to focusing on superintelligence, highlighting a potential shift in the industry. This shift may indicate that building a data infrastructure is a crucial step before implementing AI agents in logistics.
