Will Trucking Jobs Ever be Replaced by AI?
According to Microsoft’s study, at present, there don’t seem like too many jobs that AI tools can actually help truckers with.
Of course, AI is built into the technology used in the industry every day to help with things like minimizing fuel consumption and optimizing routes, but it’s some way off from replacing actual workers, even during a labor shortage.
Big AI advancements like autonomous trucks are yet to make their mark on the logistics industry, largely as a result of legal complications. Self-driving trucks have their share of opponents within the industry, with detractors citing safety concerns, as well as the threat to the existing workforce.
But if the current pace of AI development is anything to go by, seismic change could be much, much closer than we think right now.
