Many organizations are planning to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to automate and optimize interactions with customers. However, while this can help organizations become more efficient and productive, many customers are concerned about the effect it will have on their experiences.
As part of our 2023 global consumer study1, we asked respondents which problems they would be most concerned about if organizations use AI to automate customer interactions. We found that nearly half of consumers (48%) are worried about the ability to connect with a human. About 45% also cited loss of jobs for employees, poor quality of the interactions, and misuse of personal data as a concern. Use these insights to understand the hesitations you may need to address when plugging AI into customer interactions.
