Given how fast the industry is changing in the wake of these technological advancements, we wanted to share more of the learnings that we\u2019ve gotten from more than 400 support leaders in North America to help support teams take advantage of this monumental opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>To understand the impact of AI on the customer service industry, we surveyed over 1,000 global support leaders and practitioners. We\u2019ll be sharing our findings, along with actionable advice on how to leverage AI to gain a competitive edge and drive business growth, in our upcoming <em>State of AI in Customer Service Report for 2023<\/em> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/newsletter\/\">sign up to our newsletter<\/a> so you don\u2019t miss it \ud83d\ude09).<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, here are some insights we\u2019ve gotten from respondents in North America:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#ai-will-transform-support-careers\">AI will completely transform support careers and create new opportunities for support reps<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#ai-will-drive-efficiency-up-and-support-costs-down\">AI has the potential to drive efficiency up \u2013 and support costs down<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"ai-will-completely-transform-support-careers-and-create-new-opportunities-for-support-reps\">AI will completely transform support careers and create new opportunities for support reps<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s address the elephant in the room: is AI going to replace customer service teams? At this point, we\u2019re confident that there\u2019s no reason to be alarmed.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s common for any new technological advancement to bring a certain level of trepidation. Recently, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI \u2013 the company behind ChatGPT \u2013 specifically called out customer service as a big category that he believes can be \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=L_Guz73e6fw\">massively impacted<\/a>\u201d by ChatGPT. So it\u2019s probably no surprise that just over half (<strong>51%<\/strong>) of support leaders say they\u2019re worried about the potential negative impact of AI on the customer service industry.<\/p>\n<p>But while Altman notes the potential for AI to negatively impact jobs, he also talks about the new possibilities it can unlock: \u201c[These systems] will enhance many jobs and make them much better, much more fun, much higher paid, and they\u2019ll create new jobs that are difficult for us to imagine even if we\u2019re starting to see the first glimpses of them.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote-style-one\"><p>\u201cAutomation has <em>complemented<\/em> human support teams, not replaced them \u2013 freeing them up to spend more time on impactful relationship-building work\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A recent parallel is automation. We\u2019ve already seen how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/automated-customer-service\/\">automation has helped support leaders <\/a>and practitioners to save time, improve efficiency, and become more customer-centric. Our research supports this, showing that <strong>64%<\/strong> of support leaders believe they\u2019re already seeing value from their automation efforts.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, automation has <em>complemented<\/em> human support teams, not replaced them \u2013 allowing them to spend less time on manual, repetitive admin and freeing them up to spend more time on impactful relationship-building work.<\/p>\n<p>AI will do the same. Almost three-quarters (<strong>74%<\/strong>) of support leaders say they expect AI to transform customer support careers in the next five years. Many believe that AI will create new opportunities and roles for support reps, such as \u201cchatbot developer\u201d and \u201cchatbot analyst.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-28983 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/NAMER-inline-trend-3-2.jpg\" alt=\"74% of support leaders say they expect AI to transform customer support careers in the next five years. \" width=\"2551\" height=\"1382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/NAMER-inline-trend-3-2.jpg 2551w, https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/NAMER-inline-trend-3-2-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/NAMER-inline-trend-3-2-700x379.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/NAMER-inline-trend-3-2-768x416.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/NAMER-inline-trend-3-2-1536x832.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/NAMER-inline-trend-3-2-2048x1110.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/NAMER-inline-trend-3-2-600x325.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/NAMER-inline-trend-3-2-1400x758.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2551px) 100vw, 2551px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So while we may start to see a shift in what the role of \u201ccustomer support rep\u201d looks like, we predict these changes will ultimately create <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/ai-impact-customer-service-work\/\">more rewarding opportunities for customer service practitioners<\/a> \u2013 and allow them to focus on the work that only humans can do.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote-style-four\"><p><strong>AI vs automation in customer service: what\u2019s the difference?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Automation in customer service<\/strong> is the use of technology to perform repetitive tasks and processes.
