In an era marked by rapid technological advancements, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) stand out as monumental game-changers. These aren't just fleeting tech trends. They actually represent a major shift in how businesses operate today. Rewind a few decades, and the business world was a realm dominated by manual processes, often leading to inefficiencies, delays, and human errors.

Over the last year, the impact of AI on customer service has been massive. Many customer experience applications and workflows can be optimised with AI – but not all AI solutions are tailored to customer experience.

The potential of AI has recently received a lot of attention in the field of workforce management. A new article or blog post on how AI is changing the way we work appears every day, making grand claims about increased productivity, accuracy, and a smarter workplace. But it can be challenging to distinguish fact from fantasy in the midst of all this excitement. So, what’s the real story behind AI in workforce management? How much of the hype is reflected in real-world applications?

Few can deny the potential of AI to improve customer experience, but many remain hesitant to trust it. That’s why building customer confidence in AI remains one of the biggest challenges facing CX leaders today. The reasons are understandable: AI is powerful, very technical and can be difficult to understand. The name alone can spark fears of human obsolescence – or getting trapped in an endless loop with a chatbot that can’t help.
