Emotional Intelligence
In Pega’s survey of 5,000 consumers from North America, the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, and France, most respondents stated they believe in humans’ capacity for empathy. However, 39% don’t think humans are the gold standard.
This lack of faith extends to how respondents feel about businesses:
Two-thirds (65%) of respondents don’t believe companies have customers’ best interest at heart, but 68% think organizations have a moral obligation to do what's right for the customer (beyond what's legally required).
Empathy is not about humans versus AI; it’s about using the best of what both have to offer. The future of AI-based decisioning is a combination of AI insights with human supplied ethical considerations. When many channels don't feature human agents, AI is the key to powering customer engagement and optimization across all channels
