How should artificial intelligence (AI) be employed within the business.
AI can be seen as a threat or an opportunity and the outcome is largely dependent on the adoption method. It can help reduce costs, by providing members with relevant information rapidly and without the need for speaking to a person, it can also provide clarity on membership behavioural patterns to support greater decision making, it can also help determine what the ‘real’ message is behind the NPS feedback.
