How AI Is Reshaping Customer Service Experiences
ABOUT THE EPISODE
Wharton Business Daily host Dan Loney talks with Christian Terwiesch, Wharton Professor of Operations, Information & Decisions, about how artificial intelligence is reshaping customer service. Terwiesch unpacks the cost-quality trade-off, showing where chatbots like ChatGPT lift efficiency yet still require a human-in-the-loop for complex cases. They examine AI’s multilingual, persuasive strengths, the challenge of scaling “customer delight,” and the emerging hybrid workflow of AI-augmented agents. Looking ahead, Terwiesch forecasts fuller automation within a decade as companies push for better service at lower cost while keeping pace with rising consumer expectations.
