Humans and AI bots are just better together

 

Traditional contact centers are upgrading, and many leaders fear that this means the replacement of human associates. While some tasks are perfect for automation – think about those mundane, repetitive, low-value actions – the truth is, AI simply cannot replicate the “human touch.” Understanding the strengths of each kind of intelligence (AI + HUMINT), and using them cooperatively to deliver exceptional employee and customer experiences is a pivotal competitive differentiator for brands.
