  • AI agents in logistics sound promising, but the biggest challenge isn't intelligence—it's reliability. One wrong autonomous decision can disrupt an entire supply chain.
  • This should not stop companies from doing it though, right? For instance, in autonomous cars reliability is key for human safety and we already have driverless taxis.
  • My guess is infrastructure, it's often very dated for running AI locally, and that's the only way to do it that makes any sense in terms of finance and security both.
  • Youre not wrong, there are some companies running on IBM AS400s but even if you address that, you still have modern companies with software systems that dont talk to each other at all. So even if you had an AI running locally, you cant give it access to all of your data because the people dont even have it unless they click around tabs. There's companies addressing this by unifying stuff like augment or mithrilis but it will take some time
