Recommendation

Business leaders must plan for the disruptive impact of generative AI on customer service, explain the authors of a new research paper from Boston Consulting Group. While large language models (LLMs) have the potential to improve customer satisfaction and enhance productivity, businesses must also navigate a slew of challenges, including machine bias and inaccuracies. Glean valuable insights into how organizations are transforming their customer service offerings, while taking steps to protect themselves from the unpredictable aspects of this rapidly evolving technology.

Take-Aways

  • Embed generative AI into customer care processes in five phases.
  • LLMs make mistakes and can contain harmful biases, so human oversight is needed.
  • Generative AI systems are rapidly evolving and disrupt business models.
