Within the customer contact space, there is a great deal of interest in how artificial intelligence (AI) can work to deliver a superior customer experience. More importantly, it can do so at every hour of the day, across channels, making use of the vast amounts of data that are available to many large organisations. The opportunity exists for AI to take customer contact far beyond what is feasible now. Firstly it is supported by the speed and availability of affordable processing power. Secondly, the amount of available structured and unstructured data is now enormous.
Certainly, despite a low current use of AI across industries, there is widespread interest in putting it to action. Moreover 35% of respondents intend to implement AI within 12 months. So, while these figures are probably overly ambitious, it does show real interest from the contact centre industry.
