On the benefits of AI for society and a use case in customs
2025-01-05

"Happy New Year!" I started a conversation with an AI assistant on the Customs website. "Happy New Year! If you have any questions about customs rules or procedures, I will be happy to help" it replied. On the last day of 2024, Lithuanian Customs in cooperation with CustomsClear, deployed the AI assistant solution for public use. It is now available to visitors of the Lithuanian Customs website at www.lrmuitine.lt. So far, it covers one topic relevant to the festive period: e-commerce. The number of topics will increase in the future.

ICC Genesis: a new approach to origin certification?
2024-08-20

The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) has recently, after several pilots (amongst others in the Netherlands), launched an online tool for the verification of preferential origin statements. The tool is named Genesis, after the ancient Greek word for origin, which is also the name of the first book of the Holy Bible and one of the world’s most popular progressive rock bands. So the obvious questions are: how progressive is this tool and does it rock?
