The adoption of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and IoT can enhance logistics operations.

For instance, in July 2023, the debut of JD.com's large language model (LLM), a technology used to train chatbots like ChatGPT, by the dominant Chinese e-commerce company is anticipated to intensify attempts by the nation's Big Tech giants to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into numerous industrial applications.
