Cognitive technology augments human expertise to unlock new intelligence with empirical insights from vast quantities of data and navigate enterprises to the next smart moves.

Contact centers across different industries look to the up-and-coming AI technology and cloud-computing to improve customer experience. AI is able to resolve the common problems of traditional customer service such as immeasurable data, slow growth, service quality and cost control. Xiao-i helps enterprises establish knowledge base, the core infrastructure of AI system, and upgrade contact centers with its cutting-edge natural language processing (NLP), smart voice and machine learning technologies and wide range of customized solutions.
Xu predicted that human-machine collaboration would last in the foreseeable future. Machine learning, human operation and professional monitoring are all indispensable during the process.
"Rather than traditional technology or solution, AI envisages organizational transformation", pointed out by Xu. She also mentioned that decision makers should be committed and mindful in such transformation. It is essential to set quantifiable AI implementation objectives that meet the business and strategic needs when seamless and effective cross-departmental collaboration is also necessary.
Xu shared several cases of successful AI+ contact centers: (i) Credit card center of a commercial bank from limited smart customer service to unmanned proactive sales in 5 years - number of customers doubled with significant profit growth and around 10% real person agent switched to roles of AI practitioners. (ii) a global tech giant with presence spanning over 160 countries and regions handled its internal enquiries and administrative requests worldwide through AI+ contact center with precise and standardized knowledge.
Xu stressed that AI implementation and development was embodied by both demand and supply. Xiao-i addresses business needs of industry leaders with its technologies and join hands with them to work out the AI solutions that usher to future. Xu also called for decision makers in industries to brave and innovate in the digital era.
