Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming industries across the board, and the call center space is no exception. But is implementing an AI call center agent as easy as putting on a toupee? In this insightful seminar, we'll separate fact from fiction and explore true potential and pitfalls of deploying conversational AI.

You'll learn about the latest advancements allowing AI agents to understand complex language, discern intent, and provide human-like empathetic responses.

Then we'll dive into the "bad" and "scary" realities to consider. What are the risks of anthropomorphizing AI beyond its actual capabilities?
