Fast4ward Vol.2 No.3 | 4th Quarter 2018 | Next Wave 2019 Issue
WHAT will the Next Wave convergence of contact centers, customer experience, and artificial intelligence look like?
In a Forrester prediction for 2019, AI still has a long way to go. In fact, more than 65% of AI decision makers struggle with finding and acquiring AI talent, and 83% struggle with retention. Pure AI is still at least a century away from sending all of humanity on a permanent vacation. By 2022, however, AI will already impact 20% of the global workplace. But automation will unevenly distribute these advancements between industries or roles. Although it could displace 75 million jobs, it will create 133 million new ones as well.
AI skills are among the fastest-growing on LinkedIn, with members adding expertise in areas like neural networks, deep learning, and machine learning increasing 190% between 2015 and 2017. Moreover, AI will add about 1.2% of additional GDP growth per year to 2030. Specifically, this is much higher than the steam engine’s boost to human productivity of 0.3% per year between 1850 and 1910. And it is twice the impact that information technology had in the 2000s.
For now, we see novelty developments like chatbot singing and hosting, generating reports, publishing poems, and even designing fabrics. Ocado, a British online-grocery company, meanwhile is using air-traffic-control systems and AI technology to coordinate 700 factory robots. Hence, its use of technology has made it a challenger to Amazon’s grocery-delivery business. So what would be AI’s Next Wave impact to contact centers and customer service?
Making meaningful connections in 2019, contact centers will use new technologies, engage in new channels, and assess performance against new metrics. What will your business do for the new calendar year?
