Abstract

This chapter examines how generative AI, digital twins, and autonomous operations are reshaping logistics into intelligent, sustainable, and resilient ecosystems, with emphasis on GCC and MENA contexts. Generative AI supports forecasting, disruption management, and procurement optimization, while digital twins enable real-time simulation, predictive analytics, and ESG tracking. Autonomous operations using robotics, drones, AGVs, and AI-driven control towers boost efficiency, transparency, and safety. Case studies from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman highlight applications in healthcare, ports, food security, and green trade corridors. Beyond technology, the chapter underscores ethical AI, cyber-physical security, and carbon-neutral strategies. It shows how GCC nations, through digital infrastructure and visionary policies, are advancing future-ready logistics. The chapter provides actionable frameworks linking research, industry, and governance to enable resilient, transparent, and sustainable supply chains.
