Meta's AI chatbot received the worst score, followed by ChatGPT; Copilot and Gemini scored slightly higher. Meta's AI chatbot received the worst score, followed by ChatGPT; Copilot and Gemini scored slightly higher. Artificial intelligence chatbots are giving inaccurate money tips, offering British consumers misleading tax advice and suggesting they buy unnecessary travel insurance, research has revealed. Tests on the most popular chatbots found Microsoft's Copilot and ChatGPT advised breaking HMRC investment limits on Isas; ChatGPT wrongly said it was mandatory to have travel insurance to visit most EU countries; and Meta's AI gave incorrect information about how to claim compensation for delayed flights. Google's Gemini advised withholding money from a builder if a job went wrong, a move that the consumer organisation Which? said risked exposing the consumer to a claim of breach of contract.

More than three-quarters (78%) of consumers worldwide say companies must address bias in artificial intelligence (AI) and new research from Genpact (NYSE: G), a global professional services firm focused on delivering digital transformation, finds that they will reward businesses that take action. The study, now in its third year, underscores how AI continues to present opportunities for growth, but businesses still have work to do to address customers' concerns about bias and workers' concerns about equity in re-skilling opportunities. Empathising deeply with customer concerns is what will separate the winners from losers. Genpact's study, AI 360: Hold, fold, or double down?, shows that while 69% of UK consumers worry about AI discriminating against them, and 64% fear that AI will make decisions that affect them without their knowledge, companies that understand these issues and act accordingly can succeed. The study analyses perceptions of three distinct audiences that are critical to AI's widespread adoption in business: senior executives, workers, and consumers.

In an era of purpose-driven consumption, values--such as transparency, trust and humanness--are key drivers that unlock value in AI, new research from WP Engine finds. The firm's latest study, conducted by researchers at The University of London and Vanson Bourne, explores the present and near future of AI-driven human digital experiences on the web, and the often tenuous but also potentially rewarding relationship between consumers, brands and AI. According to IDC, worldwide spending on AI systems is forecast to reach $35.8 billion in 2019, an increase of 44 percent over the amount spent in 2018. Much of that growth will come from the application of AI online because there is a natural, evolutionary symbiosis between AI and the internet. However, it was a sudden burst of activity starting in 2013 that marks the beginning of what we might term the modern AI period, especially for digital and digital experiences, characterized predominantly by automated content creation, programmatic ad buying in 2014, and intelligent search.

A new international study commissioned by WP Engine and conducted by researchers at The University of London and Vanson Bourne explored the present and near future of artificial intelligence (AI)-driven human digital experiences on the web, and the often tenuous but also potentially rewarding relationship between consumers, brands and AI. The study, which surveyed consumers and enterprise companies (1,000 employees or more) in the US, UK and Australia, found that in an era of purpose-driven consumption, values--such as transparency, trust and humanness--are key drivers that unlock value in AI.

A study by the University of London and Vanson Bourne for WP Engine has concluded that transparency, trust and humanness are key drivers to unlock value in artificial intelligence (AI). The study, which surveyed consumers and enterprise companies with 1,000 employees or more in the US, the UK and Australia, found a large proportion of businesses are already well on their way towards widespread AI implementation. Chris Brauer, director of innovation at Goldsmiths, University of London, said: "Our research shows enterprises investing in AI are already seeing astounding return on investment and performance outcomes. Consumers are demanding that innovating with AI in digital experiences clearly prioritises and expresses values around privacy, trust, and transparency. "Only by laying a solid foundation of ethics and values that guide the implementation of all facets of an AI solution will companies truly be able to fully harness the value of AI." The study reported that 85.5% of businesses ...

As new technology drives a sea change across the customer experience sector, it is important to evaluate how the public honestly values personal interaction as a service need. Webhelp conducted research with the polling experts YouGov asking 2,000 British adults for their thoughts on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and how it might change the way that brands offer customer service. Webhelp UK's CEO, David Turner, looks at the importance of the human touch. Rules in CX are being rewritten. It's getting harder to predict the future but we can still try.

UK citizens appear to be losing their fear of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, according to survey research by OpenText. The enterprise information management software supplier has repeated a survey it conducted in 2017 among 2,000 British consumers. While the 2017 survey revealed that a quarter of the UK consumers asked believed their job could be replaced by AI software in the next 10 years, this dropped to around one-in-five (21%) in the 2018 survey.

Researchers at an Oxford hospital have developed a system that uses artificial intelligence to diagnose scans for heart disease and lung cancer – potentially saving billions of pounds by enabling the diseases to be picked up much earlier. The technology is due to become available for free in NHS hospitals this summer, and the results from clinical trials have found that the system can do a lot better than consultants. At the moment, of the 60,000 heart scans carried out each year, 12,000 are reportedly misdiagnosed at an estimated cost of £600 million. Geneticist Sir John Bell, told BBC News that AI could "save the NHS". "There is about £2.2bn spent on pathology services in the NHS. You may be able to reduce that by 50%. AI may be the thing that saves the NHS".

When asked which businesses are most likely to benefit from artificial intelligence, UK consumers agreed the top three industries to be benefiting are engineering (45%), administration (40%) and customer service (31%.) Finance (29%), sales (26%) and marketing (22%) followed closely behind; each deemed'admin heavy' and therefore apt to benefit from automation. Project management and human resources close the list, with 20% and 16% respectively.

Last Friday, the government revealed how the budget for more investment in cutting-edge technology and innovation would be split, with business secretary Greg Clark announcing that robotics and AI will be receiving £93 million as part of the government's £1 billion Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund – impacting a range of sectors, including healthcare. In the healthcare sector, technology has already been used to update patient records, improve care delivery and streamline processes. Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being heralded as a technology to achieve further breakthroughs in this sector. UK consumers are also seeing the advantages of introducing AI into the healthcare sector. Recent research from the enterprise information management company, OpenText, revealed that a the UK public would appreciate quicker diagnoses. This was identified as the biggest benefit for people surveyed, with one in three (33%) UK residents believing robots would reach a decision on their condition much faster.
