Adaptability

Inland water transportation is a complex industry with significant regulatory and operational requirements. While there are areas where AI could enhance efficiency, the human expertise required for navigation, compliance, and safety protocols limits the potential for full automation. The moderate adaptability and balanced infrastructure investment needs further illustrate that AI’s role in this industry would be more supportive than fully substitutive.
