Why the $3T logistics industry is finally moving beyond fax machines and paper bills of lading to solve systemic fraud.
This course explores the strategic convergence of supply chain standards, generative artificial intelligence, record management workflows, and digital asset frameworks in modern multi-modal logistics and enterprise trade. Based on Michael Darden's keynote presentation, the course provides actionable strategies to streamline document processing, mitigate freight and transaction fraud across 37 threat vectors, eliminate administrative friction, and implement globally unique record identifiers (TUIDs). Participants gain practical insights into navigating state and federal regulatory frameworks (including the Genius Act, Clarity Act, CORCA, and OSRA Section 4), mitigating public AI copyright and PII exposure risks, and establishing neutral governance models to secure supply chain transactions without compromising proprietary data.
