This study examines the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in international trade logistics, focusing on its opportunities and associated risks. The research highlights how AI-driven systems are transforming global supply chain management through automation, predictive analytics, and decision-support systems. At the same time, it explores potential challenges such as cybersecurity risks, labor displacement, and technological inequality. Using a qualitative analytical approach based on secondary data, the study demonstrates that AI significantly enhances efficiency, transparency, and sustainability in international logistics systems. However, effective governance and regulatory frameworks are required to mitigate emerging risks and ensure balanced development.
