The AI Takeover That Wasn't: Why Your Toughest Calls Still Need Your Best-Trained Humans

A few years ago, the prediction was AI would gut the contact center workforce. But what really happened? AI absorbed the routine, low-value calls like password resets, order status, FAQs and customers still rely on live calls for quick resolution.

What you will take away from this session:

• What AI actually took off your agents' plates

• Why sandboxes and shadowing can't keep up anymore

• How to train system skills and tough talk together
