This whitepaper clearly shows a trend that businesses who adopt AI solutions such as an AI chatbot are getting ahead, winning customers, and improving operational efficiency.” 

Julio Hernandez, Global Customer and Operations Lead at KPMG International, said: “GenAI and AI collectively have taken the world by storm. As with most accelerating technologies and innovations, our clients are asking us how to think about AI and the opportunities and risks that it represents. Globally, CEOs are responding to this opportunity. In the KPMG 2023 CEO Report, 70% of CEOs agree that despite economic uncertainty, generative AI (GenAI) is their top investment priority. One of the top areas of interest around GenAI and AI more broadly is often on improving Customer Experience while doing so more effectively and efficiently.”  

Scott Richards, SVP of Software Engineering at OpenText, said: “General chatbots like ChatGPT offer some level of utility and novelty for both businesses and consumers, harnessing general internet knowledge. However, businesses can reap the real benefits of AI chatbots by integrating them with their enterprise knowledge repositories and business systems to provide rapid contextual responses to employee and customer queries.”  

Tom Allen, Founder and CEO at The AI Journal, said: “Generative AI and conversational AI are transforming the way private, public, and non-profit sectors operate, it’s a clear trend. The evidence is growing that businesses that adopt AI solutions such as AI chatbots, although not always successful, for the most part, seem to be getting ahead. This whitepaper shows how businesses are doing this and why they can deliver an improved customer experience, faster, leading to them outpacing the competition.”
