摘要

Abstract

This research investigates how artificial intelligence (AI) modifies inventory management systems because China's e-commerce industry keeps expanding. It evaluates AI-based forecasting systems and automated warehouse operations through academic publications

business examples

and market statistics. The AI systems supported by reinforcement learning

recurrent neural networks

and long short-term memory networks produce more accurate forecasting results because they identify complex market patterns and enable real-time system modifications. In addition

AI dashboards that combine predictive analytics with Internet of Things technology enable better inventory optimization. Furthermore

autonomous robotics systems promote warehouse management and labor allocation. E-commerce businesses achieve better inventory management through these applications

which also reduce operational costs

improve product delivery

and strengthen customer satisfaction. Despite the benefits

AI adoption in inventory management also brings three major obstacles

which require businesses to protect data privacy

fight cybersecurity threats

and overcome limited financial resources for implementation. The research demonstrates AI adoption creates challenges

but its advantages make it vital for e-commerce businesses to achieve market success and operational excellence.
