AI bots beat humans: what does that say about your contact center? In this episode of First Contact: Stories of the Call Center, Phil Bennett from Empire Today breaks down what most leaders get wrong about digital transformation. From the early days of chat support in 2002 to today's AI-assisted agents, Phil has seen it all—and he's got the hard truths (and ROI stats) to prove it.
