Logistics meets AI: Opportunities, People, Compliance
How are AI applications changing logistics in day-to-day business? In this session, experts from Condor, Deufol, Bricklog, and Sovereign Speed will report firsthand on specific AI projects in their companies. They will discuss opportunities and challenges along key questions: How is AI changing the role of employees and collaboration within the company? What practical improvements and measurable effects are evident in processes and business models? And how can technological innovation be combined with growing compliance, security, and regulatory requirements – such as those set out in the AI Act?
Holger Bürskens moderates the discussion, covering topics from lessons learned to best practices, and together with the talk guests provides practical insights into how the use of AI affects people, operational processes, and compliance.
