Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming how companies handle customer service—automating support channels, slashing wait times, and boosting responsiveness. But as adoption accelerates, a debate brews around what’s lost in translation when humans step out of the loop.

According to a new study, AI will manage nearly 68% of customer interactions by 2028, with Cisco predicting the rise of "agentic AI" that doesn’t just respond but proactively anticipates customer needs. The appeal is clear: round-the-clock service at a fraction of the cost.

Telecom giants are already leaning in. Verizon credits Google’s AI agents with boosting sales and customer satisfaction, pointing to faster resolution times and fewer escalations. AI is proving especially effective in handling FAQs and routing tickets efficiently.

Yet cracks are showing. Fintech firm Klarna recently made headlines after automating large portions of its support team with AI—only to reverse course and rehire humans due to complaints about cold, ineffective service. Their backpedal reveals a key limitation: empathy, nuance, and problem-solving often require a human touch.

In the public sector, even the Social Security Administration is testing AI-powered phone systems to tackle massive wait times. While the move could reduce caller frustration, critics argue it risks alienating older or less tech-savvy beneficiaries who prefer speaking with a person.

As AI grows more capable, companies must tread carefully: speed and cost savings shouldn’t come at the expense of trust, connection, and clarity.
