Background of the Study
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform business operations by optimizing processes, improving decision-making, and enhancing customer service. In the logistics industry, AI is being used to optimize supply chain operations, improve route planning, enhance inventory management, and predict customer demand (Sani et al., 2023). In Taraba State, logistics companies are beginning to explore the benefits of AI, but the adoption rate remains relatively low due to factors such as cost, lack of expertise, and limited access to technology.
This study aims to appraise the extent of AI adoption in the logistics sector in Taraba State, focusing on its impact on operational efficiency, cost savings, and service delivery. Understanding the challenges and benefits of AI adoption in this sector will provide valuable insights for logistics companies considering the integration of AI in their operations.
