\"\"<\/div>

Prediction<\/h3><\/div>
<\/div>
Brands will adopt AI-powered tools even more in an attempt to deliver hyper-personalized service across multiple channels. The focus will be on seamless integration and automation (avoiding channel transfer regress).<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>

Pitfall<\/h3><\/div>
<\/div>
Over-reliance on automation could lead to a loss of human touch, which is essential for building customer loyalty.<\/div><\/div><\/div>
