Wednesday, September 13

8:30 AM – 11:00 AM

The Trade & Logistics Committee will hold the last Trade and Logistics Committee Meeting of the year on Wednesday, September 13 at Port Miami located in Terminal E. 

The current Chair, Jennifer Diaz, will hand the reigns of the committee over to the Chair Elect, Cloudya Esther. 

A distinguished panel of experts will discuss how AI is transforming the nature of work and industry practices. 

As interest in Artificial Intelligence (AI) grows, so does the demand for resources to help educate and inform about this rapidly developing technology. AI is increasingly being used in a range of industries to improve processes, save costs, and increase efficiencies. The panel of early adopters of AI will speak to their experience about the potential, limitations, and impact of Artificial Intelligence from their vantage point. 

The discussion will include insights on:

  • How does AI affect competitiveness in our industry?
  • What will the future of our workforce look like with increasing adoption of AI?
  • What are the tactical things that government and academia can do to help industry with the necessary tools they need to help individuals prepare for the future.

For more information about the UFLPA, please see our previous blog articles here and here.

CBP launched a UFLPA data dashboard where the trade community can now monitor forced labor enforcement by origin, commodity, CBP Center of Excellence and Expertise, and more. See the screenshot of the new dashboard below and note that the countries of export most targeted are NOT China, contrary to popular belief. This is partly due to the fact that most UFLPA enforcement to date has been on solar panels, which may include Chinese-origin raw materials but are generally further manufactured outside of China. Notably, CBP is actively tracking many different types of products across many different industries with raw materials that originate in China and that are further manufactured in other countries for forced labor enforcement.
