Council Post: How AI Can Change Customer Experience And Engagement

#artificialintelligence

Leading the company's vision to disrupt the knowledge management market. Often described as the emotional connection between a customer and a brand, customer engagement is far more than a transactional relationship. It's no longer limited to sales, services and support and is an ongoing process where a company anticipates a customer's needs and gains their loyalty. As the CEO of a company that offers call center, self-service and virtual assistant technology, I've found that most brands understand customer engagement plays a crucial role in customer experience and business outcomes. For those looking to gain a competitive advantage, AI as a driving force in engagement can be one of the best ways to build gratifying experiences.


What is Artificial Intelligence? It's Applications and Importance

#artificialintelligence

The term artificial intelligence was initially revealed in 1956, yet AI has become more mainstream today on account of expanded data volumes, progressed algorithms, and enhancements in computing power and storage. During the 1960s, the US Department of Defense checked out this kind of work and started training computers to emulate fundamental human reasoning. For instance, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) finished road planning projects during the 1970s. What's more, DARPA created intelligent personal assistants in 2003, some time before Siri, Alexa or Cortana were easily recognized names. Artificial intelligence (AI), is the capacity of a digital computer or computer-controlled robot to perform activities usually connected with smart creatures.

Modern AI evolution timeline shows a decade of rapid progress

#artificialintelligence

AI has become an asset for organizations to better understand their business position, and its capabilities have improved dramatically over the past decade. Artificial intelligence, first named in 1955 by computer scientist John McCarthy, has gone through a tremendous shift in the past decade. From the development of the first generative adversarial networks to Waymo reaching 10 million self-driven miles, AI has come a long way. Though many notable technologies seem ageless, most of them have come into fruition within the last 10 years -- Siri, Watson, Alexa and AlphaGo, to name a few. Beyond the development of digital assistants, there's been a paradigm shift in approaches to AI and enterprise application.
