Webinar panelists will share use cases for AI, discuss the future of AI in air cargo, highlight the challenges and drawbacks of AI integration, and examine the impact of AI on the workforce. 

The webinar, which will be moderated by Air Cargo Next Deputy Editor Yael Katzwer, will feature the following panelists: 

• Nisarg Mehta, co-founder and chief technology officer at Raft; 
• Kirsten de Bruijn, executive vice president of cargo at WestJet Cargo; and 
• Michelle Williams, managing director of strategy and business services at Southwest Airlines Cargo. 

“Smart data, AI/ML [machine learning] automation, the right sort of platform … essentially takes the lower value-add tasks and reduces the amount of time necessary to complete them,” Mehta previously told Air Cargo Next. “In five years, 10 years, I think every freight forwarder will be using ML or AI in some form or the other to varying degrees.”
