Logistics company pressure indicates worries about AI optimizing supply chains in ways that reduce human intervention and compress margins.

This is, by definition, nonsense. AI lacks the info to do the task when the supply chain is disrupted.

Saw that happen in 2000-2001 with REE. No AI needed. It was a pure money grab by the producers. Contracts? They didn't care. MONEY NOW was everything. When the money train disappeared (i.e. demand shifted to something else), SUDDENLY the producers were interested in the actual ongoing users. But the producers were doing a variety of bankruptcy and other legal things to try to get OUT of their LONG TERM (20 yr) "take or pay" contracts signed with miners just 1-2 yrs earlier.
