AI missteps lead to expensive setbacks while strong implementation boosts support roles for humans — 8X8 warns on AI deployment risk

AI deployment can backfire with severe financial consequences, 8X8 warns. Many companies end up with implementation failures reaching seven-figure losses, leaving management searching for answers.

Despite these risks, 8X8 also notes that when artificial intelligence is correctly integrated, it can elevate the role of human agents. Successful AI allows staff to focus on more complex, nuanced customer support cases, offering a personal touch that technology alone cannot provide. The company suggests a careful approach to AI rollouts in order to realize these benefits and avoid substantial losses.

8X8 is positioning its technology offerings at industry events, with plans to showcase contact center and customer experience platforms at the upcoming Channel Expo. The company has also received recognition for its channel strategy, as senior manager David Land was named to the CRN Australia Channel Chiefs list. These developments come as 8X8 urges caution in rolling out emerging technologies such as AI.
