| | OCTOBER 20259CIOReviewtaking advantage of AI by delivering value will lead the pack. Logistics industries enabling end-to-end integration from First, Middle to Last Mile including warehousing capabilities becoming more agilely responsive to Customer's needs will distinguish themselves. Pile on RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) to trainable GenAI with expanded new data, fresh insight, more comprehensive models' capabilities will render extensive valued outcomes including descriptive, predictive and prescriptive endeavors. I called this the "Extra Mile" effect.Gartner's recent survey indicated 72 percent of respondents believe their AI ML efforts are directly impacted by their data readiness which needs to be addressed upfront. If you want reliable and accurate decisions for qualitative outcomes, prioritize data enablement with AI Governance council to manage hallucinations, misinformation, data leaks, risk and compliance.Addressing Challenges in the Logistics IndustryAI will become a pivotal must-have with real-time data and yesteryear's demand to integrate 3PL or 4PL logistics operations, stitching First, Middle & Last Mile players (customers, partners, agents, carriers, drivers, 3rd party data providers) for a unified view will continue to be a challenge.This spans across today's digitization & digitalization mixed challenges. We will continue to this tussle between these two across goals, cost, effort and culture racing to maturity. You can't stay ahead or keep pace if you choose to remain constant.Technology in Use at Worldwide LogisticsAIT Worldwide logistic is a rather unique organization with 5 modes spreading across 11 verticals.

Upscale your talents through AI literacy so that they become conducive to emerging technologies. Start thinking on ways to rewire yourself, functioning more effectively where each employee begins to expound their "centrifugal thinking" attribute. What is "centrifugal thinking" then? It is the element that forces you to become not being the ordinary, just like Planet Haumea, an oval (football) shape planet. Discovered in 2004 Haumea's shape is completely different from any spherical planets because of its high spinning velocity at 16,191 kph caused by Centrifugal force stretching beyond its normal feature. How can Organization begin stretching our employees beyond normal thinking to potentially differentiate? Promoting critical thinking is one fundamental way. Be disruptive by partnering with your Customers to find disruptors. Upscale your talents through AI literacy so that they become conducive to emerging technologies.
