Globalization and cross-border e-commerce are growing fast, and the logistics between China and the United States becomes very important in world trade. In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been more and more used in this area. It mainly shows in forecasting, automation, and controlling risk. This paper talks about how AI is used in China–U.S. cross-border logistics now, and also what problems appear. It compares two countries: China usually pays attention to practice in real scene, while the U.S. pays more attention to innovation from technology side. AI not only helps daily work become more efficient, but also is related to sustainability, openness, and digital change in supply chain. But there are still many difficulties, such as different rules in different places, high cost to use AI, and not fair access to new technology. The paper thinks that future progress needs both countries to work together in standard management, and training people.
