Speeking to and interacting with a little machine in my living room, that has the capacity to both understand and create communication, is a great example of how Artifical Intelligence has infiltrated our lives.

No matter what the reason, shippers must find ways to bend the cost curve for transportation logistics back downward amidst a very challenging environment.
