According to Kantar TNS’s latest Connected Life research, brands still have work to do to build trust in digital channels.
The report reveals that acceptance of chatbots, which are increasingly used in customer service functions, is generally low in Europe: just 28% of British consumers are willing to interact with them online. However, consumers in other markets are even less open to them: less than a quarter (22%) of Australian consumers said they were happy to interact with AI.

There’s a lot of talk that AI is the future, but the capabilities are already being widely used and it’s not really that scary, according to CEO of technology company Sherlok, Elisa Adams.
“AI is the new solution to better understanding the voice of the customer and while it does takes expertise, it doesn’t have to be overly complex or hard,” she told CMO during a recent interview.
