The consumer

Sees AI benefits but still prefers the human touch

You may not yet travel in a self-driving car, but artificial intelligence is already part of people’s lives. And businesses need to pay attention to how their customers are reacting.

The third part of our research series explores AI from the perspective of the consumer, and offers businesses five lessons to help AI plans meet customer expectations.
