In an era where AI is rapidly transforming customer service, it’s crucial to remember that technology should enhance, not replace, the human touch. In this insightful article, Claudio Rodrigues, Chief Product Officer at Omilia, emphasizes the indispensable role of human empathy and emotional intelligence in contact centers.

Rodrigues warns against over-reliance on AI, highlighting that tasks requiring genuine human connection should remain with people.
