Transformative, but slower, adoption of AI is intact


While Gartner is anticipating a rapid shift toward mainstream adoption for Generative AI within procurement over the next two years, a recent report from Deloitte suggest it is not here yet across the broader supply chain ecosystem.

Deloitte’s report, “Gen AI transforming transportation: Lessons from the frontier of an emerging technology,” found that while nearly all transportation executives (99%) expect the technology to transform their industry, only one in five surveyed companies have matured their GenAI efforts to broad implementation. Additionally, 71% of the 200-plus executives surveyed expect the transformation to take more than three years, which Deloitte noted is slower than most other industries.

Within transportation, asset management, route optimization and warehouse operations are seeing the highest adoption rate so far, but most implementations are limited to date. However, those companies are reporting “extremely high” or “high economic” value in their use cases.
