Event summary
A new Gartner report reveals that most businesses are using AI to backfill customer experience (CX) agent capacity through attrition, rather than immediate layoffs. While nearly two-thirds of leaders are reducing headcount gradually, about one-third are planning or implementing direct workforce reductions due to AI. The report suggests that AI allows companies to redeploy human agents to higher-value responsibilities that AI cannot replace, focusing on customer growth, loyalty, and long-term efficiency.
