Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the trucking and transport sector, according to Jaime Tabachnik, co-founder and CEO at trucking FinTech Solvento. AI has the ability to automate repetitive tasks and leverage data to make better decisions, streamlining workflows and reducing costs in the industry. One significant application of AI is within freight matching, where algorithms can optimize the matching of carriers and shippers, leading to more efficient and profitable operations. However, Tabachnik notes that many traditional players in the trucking industry have been slow to adopt these advanced technologies. Challenges in adopting AI include skepticism and resistance to change, but Tabachnik believes that educating decision-makers and demonstrating the capabilities and benefits of AI will be crucial. The timing for AI disruption in the transport industry is favorable, with increasing curiosity and awareness of AI’s potential. AI can drive significant cost savings and improve profitability in the transport industry by automating processes, optimizing operations, and enhancing decision-making. While full automation may not be feasible in the near future, Tabachnik believes that AI will act as a co-pilot, enhancing human intelligence and decision-making in the industry.
