There’s been a lot of interest in Artificial Intelligence (AI) but do most people really know what it means? In most cases, AI refers to computer systems that can perform complex tasks normally done by human-reasoning, decision making, creating, etc. There is no single, simple definition of artificial intelligence because AI tools are capable of a wide range of tasks and outputs, but the National Aeronautical and Space Agency (NASA) follows this definition, which references Section 238(g) of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2019.

  1. Any artificial system that performs tasks under varying and unpredictable circumstances without significant human oversight, or that can learn from experience and improve performance when exposed to data sets.
  2. An artificial system developed in computer software, physical hardware, or other context that solves tasks requiring human-like perception, cognition, planning, learning, communication, or physical action.
  3. An artificial system designed to think or act like a human, including cognitive architectures and neural networks.
  4. A set of techniques, including machine learning that is designed to approximate a cognitive task.
  5. An artificial system designed to act rationally, including an intelligent software agent or embodied robot that achieves goals using perception, planning, reasoning, learning, communicating, decision-making, and acting.

Some consider AI to be the harbinger of the apocalypse like in a 1980s movie, but forget the sci-fi. During this session, we'll show you how AI is not a threat, but a powerful tool fleet managers can use today to improve last-mile and vocational operations. Our expert panel will use simple analogies to explain AI and then demonstrate its practical applications. See how AI can act as a chess master, optimizing routes in real-time to save time and fuel. Or, alternatively, as a doctor, using vehicle data to predict maintenance needs and prevent costly breakdowns.

Join us for this cutting-edge offering and learn how to leverage AI to cut costs, increase efficiency, and gain a competitive edge in the last mile and vocational sectors.
