AI Ushers in the Future of Logistics and Transportation

Artificial intelligence (AI) is taking the lead in logistics and transportation, driving change across the entire industry. ‘Agentic AI,’ which can make judgments and perform tasks autonomously, is now responsible for overall logistics operations, a development seen as an effort to maximize efficiency by departing from traditional human-centric operational methods.

In the past, the Trump administration's trade war reshaped the landscape of international logistics, highlighting the need to construct a new logistics map. This has become a strategic foundation for responding to changing international affairs amidst rising uncertainty in global supply chains.

‘Reverse logistics’ is enhancing logistics efficiency by proposing strategies to transform simple returns processing into business opportunities. By assessing the condition of collected products to determine whether they can be resold or recycled, this approach utilizes the returns process as a new revenue stream for businesses and an opportunity to improve customer experience.

Amidst the 50 trillion won cargo transport market, the activation of ‘industrial finance’ is identified as the key to breaking the stagnant trend, and AI-driven logistics innovation is expected to play a crucial role in strengthening this market dynamism.
