<p>Marc and Richard Savoie explore how AI, advanced optimization, and emerging technologies are transforming logistics, cutting emissions, and reshaping the future of global delivery systems.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>About the Episode:</strong></p><p>This episode dives deep into the evolution of logistics and the rapidly growing role of technology in reshaping how goods move across cities and continents. The discussion explores how optimization, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and emerging quantum capabilities are unlocking efficiencies that dramatically reduce cost, congestion, and emissions — especially in the notoriously expensive and complex last mile of delivery. The conversation also examines why certain hyped innovations like drones may not scale, while invisible infrastructure technologies are quietly delivering massive real-world impact.</p><p>Beyond technology, the episode looks at the economic, societal, and environmental stakes of modern logistics. From reducing urban pollution and health risks to addressing labor shortages and enabling smarter electrification strategies, logistics innovation sits at the center of sustainability, economic resilience, and city life. Listeners will gain a thoughtful, forward-looking understanding of why logistics matters more than ever, and how intelligent systems could redefine what “efficient delivery” truly means.</p><p>This episode also explores practical implications such as reducing parking congestion, improving fleet efficiency, and leveraging agentic AI to dynamically optimize delivery routes in real-time. By addressing both operational and environmental challenges, the conversation provides a compelling vision for the next decade of logistics, showing how AI and advanced computation can transform delivery networks at scale.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>About the Guest:</strong></p><p>Richard Savoie is the co-founder and CEO of Adiona, which uses AI to power millions of efficient, lowest-carbon deliveries around the world for brands such as Coca-Cola and Amazon.
