AI-driven customer service needs quality data

AI is bringing new waves of customer service innovation.

Leading AI customer engagement players power over 95% of their service interactions using AI and digital channels. 🤖

And with great power comes great responsibility, especially regarding the data that fuels AI.

A crucial element determines the success or failure of AI initiatives:

High quality data. After all, it’s the data that makes AI work like magic.

The garbage in, garbage out model

The "garbage in, garbage out" (GIGO) model in AI emphasizes the critical importance of data quality. If you train an AI model on poor-quality data, it will produce inaccurate or unreliable results.

To produce accurate results, AI systems must train on high-quality data that is clean, relevant, and up to date. Poor data quality can lead to incorrect predictions, biased algorithms, and serious operational consequences. Therefore, prioritizing strategies for creating clean training data is crucial for organizations to fully harness the potential of AI.

What are common data quality challenges in customer service?

Poor-quality data can come from various places, both inside and outside your organisation.
Companies have data silos that trap information in one place, resulting in gaps and inconsistencies. Ever dealt with data entry errors or outdated information? These are the hurdles that can trip up your AI, preventing it from delivering its best in customer service.

Let’s look at some common reasons for “garbage” data:

Data Entry Errors: Mistakes in data entry by humans, like typos and wrong information, can cause incorrect data.

Poor Sound Quality: Bad audio affects data quality for accurate transcription and analysis of customer calls.

Siloed Datasets: Data silos can lead to inconsistencies, inaccuracies, and incomplete data sets.

Outdated Data: Data can become obsolete quickly, leading to inaccurate decision-making and personalized marketing efforts.

Data Bias and Inconsistency: Biased and inconsistent data can make AI systems less effective by causing unfair outcomes and inaccurate predictions.

What are some best practices for maintaining data quality in ai-powered customer service?

Best practices for maintaining data quality in AI-powered customer service include:

Additionally, fostering a culture that values data quality is crucial. Lastly, aligning data management practices with organizational goals is essential.
