Navigating the Future of AI in Contact Centers: Friend or Foe? Interview with Amy Roberge from Zoom
In a world where AI is rapidly advancing, the fear of automation replacing human jobs is a common concern. Contact center operators, in particular, have been identified as one of the occupations at the highest risk of being replaced by AI, according to a recent study by Princeton University.
But is this really the doomsday scenario that many fear? Amy Roberge, Head of Global CX Solutions Engineering at Zoom, doesn’t think so. In a recent conversation with CX Today’s Charlie Mitchell, they explore the role of AI in the contact center industry and whether it will be a friend or foe to contact center agents.
Despite the headlines painting AI as a foe, there are actually many ways in which AI can assist and enhance the work of contact center agents. From automating repetitive tasks to providing real-time insights and analytics, AI has the potential to revolutionize the way contact centers operate.
Roberge and Mitchell discuss examples of how AI can be a friend to contact center agents, as well as practical steps that contact centers can take to start implementing these AI-driven solutions. They also highlight the importance of embracing AI as a tool to enhance human capabilities, rather than as a replacement for human workers.
