GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND LOGISTICS SYSTEM IN NIGERIA: A LITERATURE REVIEW AND DIRECTION FOR FUTURE RESEARCH

Abstract

The role played by Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) in shaping numerous aspects of life endeavors cannot be underestimated. These includes but not limited to logistics and supply chain management system in Nigeria. This study assessed the impact of Generative Artificial Intelligence on Logistic system in Nigeria. The study employed an exploratory research design to provide a conceptual and literature review perspective of generative AI and logistic system in Nigeria. The paper was organized into four major sections viz; introduction, literature review, challenges and limitations to generative artificial intelligence and logistic system in Nigeria, directions for future research agenda. Based on the results from the review of previous literatures, it is crystal clear that none of the previous studies have examined the impact of generative AI on logistic system in Nigeria. Indeed, resistance to change, decaying level of digital infrastructure, compliance, and regulatory obstacles have been identified as the major challenges confronting the smooth implementation of generative AI on logistics system in Nigeria. Hence, the need to study the nexus between generative Artificial Intelligence and logistic system in Nigeria with a view to provide an insights for future research direction. Therefore, this study underscores the importance of Gen AI in the area of logistics system in Nigeria as emerging economy.
