Roundtable B

1:00 pm - 1:45 pm Interactive Discussion B: Fired? Empowered? What AI Really Means For Employee Experiences

Facing the Fear: New research on whether CX agents and leaders truly believe AI will impact contact center headcounts

Defining Future Work: The truth about the โ€œAI for simple issues, agents for complex onesโ€ adage

Rethinking Empowerment: Biggest ways AI will help โ€“ and hurt โ€“ the employee experience
