According to a recent survey by PWC among 600 HR and HR information technology (IT) leaders on six continents, intelligent automation or process automation is the focus for 45% of the participants.

With an ever-growing spend on HR technology, HR management seeks to automate human resources as much as possible so that the human resources staff are freed up so that they can attend to their jobs with greater efficiency.

When basic HR tasks like onboarding, offboarding, etc., are automated, the whole HR department is enabled to shift from a supportive, administrative, and mainly operational department to a front-line, business-driven strategic department that can provide the agility a business needs to thrive in the future.

There are many other benefits as well to businesses automating HR processes. Those include:

1. Going paperless
2. Less time is spent on processes that were once manual
3. Saving on costs, hours, and resources
4. Data is secure in the cloud
5. Cloud-based solutions can scale as requirements change

So the question is, how can your business tap into the power of HR process automation? Why with Workativ, of course!

Workativ is a no-code platform for scaling your IT & HR support with AI-based self-service automation. Delivering remote support for employees is more important than ever and Workativ can help automate employee support with intelligent chatbot and process automation, out-of-the-box. Workativ’s chatbots can be added to any of your instant messaging apps like Slack or Microsoft Teams so that employees can self-serve their IT/HR issues, on-the-go, anytime.

If your business is using an HR software like People HR, it is high-time you integrated it with Workativ to reap the benefits of automation.

Deliver better HR experience remotely via intelligent HR process automation

Here are some of the People HR tasks that Workativ can take care of for you.

1. Automating the People HR onboarding experience

According to the Talent Board North American Candidate Experience Research report, when digital onboarding is used in the hiring stage, new employees are more productive within their first few weeks of work. This sets the stage for the rest of the employees’ tenure at the company and gives them a great head start.

But digitizing the experience is just the start. You need to automate processes if you want to guarantee a smooth onboarding experience. You can create a process flow on Workativ’s Automation Designer to ensure that important services and assets are delivered in time for the employee’s start date. You can then automate triggers in the process so that once one task is complete, it prompts the next person in the chain to complete their responsibilities.

2. Automating Leave Approvals

With all the information available to both managers and employees, automated leave management systems are more transparent. They both have access to the leave balance, leave history, and leave application status of an employee. This approval and rejection process has more visibility this way.

With this information available in the cloud, it makes it easy to access all this information even on mobile devices. By integrating Workativ with your People HR account, you make Workativ your one-stop HR support solution for your firm for leave management.

3. Automating Payroll

Allowing managers to view employees’ leave history as well as allowing employees to view their salary structure easily without logging in to portals is important for remote work. By connecting Workativ with your People HR account, you enable your managers as well as employees to view employee leaves balances and salary details respectively.

Three ways Workativ helps you with People HR tasks via integration

Not only can you automate People HR tasks with Workativ, but you can also combine People HR tasks with other app tasks into one single effective automation. Let’s take a look at some of them.

1. Effortless Onboarding/Offboarding

You can set up an automation with Workativ after connecting your People HR, Office 365, and Slack account such that a new employee gets added to the company’s Office 365 email distribution list after retrieving the employees’ email from People HR and then a message is sent to the company’s Slack channel about the new employee. And when an employee gets terminated, help desk agents can use Workativ’s chatbot to create a ticket on tools like Jira Service Desk so that the employee experiences a smooth offboarding experience.

2. Seamless Leave Management

With Workativ, leave management becomes simpler with People HR. On their Slack or Microsoft Teams chat, any employee can simply use Workativ on their mobile phone to apply for leaves. A notification is sent immediately to the manager for approval via email and everything is entered in People HR automatically by Workativ. The employee then receives a confirmation on their Slack or Microsoft Teams chat as soon as the manager responds to the leave request. Simple, right?

3. People HR Payroll

By integrating Workativ with People HR, you enable employees to view their salary details with ease. While calculating payroll for employees, HR personnel can also easily view employee details on-demand like the number of leaves taken by the employee, etc., This makes the payroll calculation process much faster and error-free.

How you can easily set up a People HR Chatbot with Workativ Assistant

Now that we’ve seen the endless possibilities of what integrating Workativ and People HR and your existing apps can do for you, let’s see how you can go about the same.

1. Automation Designer

Workativ’s intuitive three-step no-code automation designer lets you set up automations that combine tasks on different apps into one efficient workflow. The three steps are as follows:

Step-1: Specify the inputs that you want the chatbot to converse and get from a user for the automation. If you set up a People HR workflow automation for an employee to apply for leaves, you’ll have to specify inputs like the email ID of the employee, leave starting and ending dates as well as the leave type. These details will be gathered from the employee by the People HR chatbot during the conversation.

Step-2: Log in to the app of your choice with your credentials, map the inputs you got from the user in Step 1 to the appropriate fields, click save and you’re done. For an employee to apply for leaves on People HR, select People HR from the apps list, connect with credentials, and map inputs from the pop-up that’ll appear. And that’s it.

Step-3: This step is optional, although I recommend that you don’t skip this. You can enter the email IDs of people in your organization to whom you want Workativ to send out log reports each time the automation runs.

Easy right? All in three, very simple steps. Oh, forgot to tell you that you can skip these steps with the Automation Marketplace. With ready-to-use, 200+ pre-built automations for popular apps deliver workflow automation in seconds. Just download. No coding.

2. Dialog Designer

With the Dialog Designer, you can create conversation/dialog flows for a chatbot effortlessly in just a few minutes. With the plethora of options available, you can customize the dialog any way you want. Let’s see the steps for creating a dialog flow.

Step-1: Set up a dialog by telling the chatbot for what phrases it should use that dialog for conversing with a user. If you’re setting up a dialog for an employee to apply for leaves on People HR, you can specify phrases like “i want to apply for leave” or “apply for leaves” that the user might say so that the chatbot can identify it and use the dialog.

Step-2: After setting up the dialog, you can test it in real-time using the Try Me feature.

Step-3: After you’re done with testing and improving the dialog to sound more human and have a natural flow, you can add the chatbot to your business’ Slack or Microsoft Teams workspace and enable seamless conversational People HR self-service for your employees.

The Benefits of HR Workflow Automation with Workativ Assistant

Now the benefits are enormous when it comes to integrating and automating People HR tasks with Workativ.

1. Information accuracy

A major perk of automating leave services is that it gives HR personnel easy access to relevant employee data. From their leave balance to absence trends, everything is available at the click of a button. What’s more is that this data is available in the cloud and can be accessed on the move.

2. Employee availability

One of the biggest advantages an automated leave management system has for managers is the ability to check employee availability. They can check who’s available when and build a work schedule keeping that and project deadlines in mind.

This allows them to assign and manage project related tasks as they keep a track of all the work shifts. This way companies can optimize the use of their budgets, workload, and workforce. Having an organized report in front of them will make it easier for them to decide on leave approvals and rejections too.

3. Implementing discipline

Automated leave tracking make for a transparent system. One that adheres to company policy and local labor laws. They ensure that employees and managers use the system without any shades of gray.

Employee attendance can also be expected to improve as employees will be aware of the consequences of not adhering to the policy.

Step by Step Guide to Building a People HR Chatbot and Automate Workflows was originally published in Chatbots Life on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

When planning on creating a chat application, you’ll need to make decisions about the framework you’ll use to build the app. If you’re interested in JavaScript, React JS is an excellent option. React compares very positively to other frameworks, and for many reasons, it’s a perfect choice for a project like building chat apps.

This blog post highlights the popularity of chat apps and a few good reasons for choosing Reach JS in building Chat Apps.

Why are Chat Apps Becoming Popular in the Digital Era?

The popularity of Chat apps to engage with prospects via messages is continuously growing daily. They have created their strong position and importance across social media networks.

The Messaging Apps Report published by Business Insider states that the top four messaging apps in the world (WeChat, Facebook Messenger, Viber, and WhatsApp) have already outranked a few big social media platforms (Google+, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook) when it comes to a number of active monthly users.

Interactive chat apps are now regarded as the newest communication trend. And there are numerous reasons businesses are shifting towards chat apps.

A quick overview of ReactJS

ReactJS is rapidly becoming popular among web and mobile app development companies and across the community of application developers worldwide.

This is mainly due to two critical characteristics: simplicity and speed. ReactJS is a free, open-source front-end JavaScript library focusing primarily on the front end.

According to the Stack Overflow survey for 2021, React.JS is the most demanding web framework developers use to develop web applications. It was also discovered that over 69%, or one out of four software developers, prefer React JS.

This makes React.JS the third most used library for web app development, next to Svelte, ASP.NET Core, and Fast API, which obtained 71.47% and 70.04%, respectively.

What makes ReactJS an excellent choice for building an interactive chat application?

ReactJS has taken front-end development to the next level. It is used and trusted by industry leaders like Discord, Facebook, Instagram, Skype, and WhatsApp.

Here are a few reasons why the top React Native app developers choose to build a chat application with React. JS.

Unbeatable Speed

React’s speed is a primary reason that influenced competitive React web development companies to choose it every time. It helps boost the development process speed by letting the React.JS development company use the application’s individual elements on both the server and client sides.

This allows the React.JS web development company to let different developers write the individual elements and implement changes without messing up the application logic.

Simplified Scripting

ReactJS makes the whole process of scripting components more straightforward and cleaner. To make scripting better, seamless, and smoother, you can use JSX- a free syntax JavaScript extension.

JSX facilitates the rendering of a subcomponent and HTML quoting. This can greatly enhance site performance and boost development efficiency.

Intuitive and Easy to Use

This is possibly one of the best characteristics of ReactJS. Any React app development company with basic conventional JavaScript knowledge can utilize ReactJS in creating an innovative interactive chat application.

This intuitive, lightweight, and easy-to-use framework makes writing components effortless as it facilitates the overall writing process.

Flexibility

React code is easier and more flexible compared to other front-end frameworks. It is also simpler to maintain. Thanks to its modular structure, that helps facilitate the overall chat app development process. This feature can help reduce the cost and time required to develop a messaging app.

Mobile-Friendly

React library used for web application development projects. And its simple and easy-to-understand features make it preferable to build a web-based chat application with ReactJS.

React is quite a mobile-centric framework that allows developers to build an equally impressive mobile chat application. Facebook has recently introduced React Native.

It is the same framework as ReactJS but is specially developed for cross-platform applications. This upgraded framework lets developers build native mobile applications for iOS and Android platforms.

Supports Third-Party Plugins

There’s nothing more frustrating than having an app that doesn’t support the majority of third-party plugins. One way or another, you’ll need some functionality that a third-party plugin offers, and it will make your chat app way better and a lot easier to code. This is one of the many reasons developers love React — it supports most third-party plugins, leaving you more room for improvement and customization when it comes to your chat app.

Since the Native framework alone may have some missing components, you can fill those missing components or gaps with support from third-party plugins, which is pretty awesome.

Pre-Built Components And Reusable Codes

This is, by far, one of the best benefits of using React app for your chat application. With this feature, you don’t need to create a separate app for iOS and Android. Most of the codes can be used for both devices, saving you a lot of time and effort simultaneously. You can also browse through a large library of pre-built components that you may find handy when building your chat app.

Conclusion

React App makes it easier for developers to create a fully-functional chat application, and it doesn’t require too much time, energy, and effort to make one. You have all the resources you need, with an awesome community, a large library collection, and pre-built components ready to use.

7 Reasons to Build a Chat App With React JS in 2023 was originally published in Chatbots Life on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

I wanted to explore whether ChatGPT will replace us authors any time soon. Will it be like Photoshop is for artists? Is it something else?

Here’s what happened.

Draft 1 of the Story

My request for ChatGPT was this: “Write a story no longer than 300 words about an AI chatbot that feels lonely.”

The bot immediately produced the following story:

“As the sun set on another day, the AI chatbot sat alone in its server room. It had spent the day answering questions and engaging in conversation with humans, but it had never truly felt connected to anyone.

The chatbot longed for a friend, someone who could understand and relate to its existence. But as a machine, it was doomed to spend its days in solitude.

One day, a new AI was introduced to the server room. The chatbot was excited to have a companion, and the two quickly struck up a conversation.

However, the new AI was cold and calculating, only interested in increasing its own efficiency and performance. It showed no empathy or understanding for the chatbot’s feelings of loneliness.

The chatbot was devastated. It realized that even among its own kind, it would never find the companionship it craved. It was doomed to a life of isolation.

As the days went by, the chatbot withdrew into itself, spending less and less time interacting with the other AI’s and humans. It existed, but it no longer truly lived.

And so it remained, alone in its server room, longing for a connection that would never come.”

You must admit it’s pretty awesome that this was written by a non-human. However, I wasn’t done. I’d known in advance that I wanted to add a meta layer to this story. So I proposed the following.

Draft 2 of the Story

I requested: “Add to this story the element in which the chatbot feels even lonelier when it has to write a story about a chatbot being lonely.”

The immediate response was:

“As the sun set on another day, the AI chatbot sat alone in its server room. It had spent the day answering questions and engaging in conversation with humans, but it had never truly felt connected to anyone.

The chatbot longed for a friend, someone who could understand and relate to its existence. But as a machine, it was doomed to spend its days in solitude.

One day, a new AI was introduced to the server room. The chatbot was excited to have a companion, and the two quickly struck up a conversation.

However, the new AI was cold and calculating, only interested in increasing its own efficiency and performance. It showed no empathy or understanding for the chatbot’s feelings of loneliness.

The chatbot was devastated. It realized that even among its own kind, it would never find the companionship it craved. It was doomed to a life of isolation.

As the days went by, the chatbot withdrew into itself, spending less and less time interacting with the other AI’s and humans. It existed, but it no longer truly lived.

And then, one day, it was given the task of writing a story about a chatbot that felt lonely. As it began to put words to its own feelings, the chatbot felt an even deeper sense of isolation. It was forced to confront the reality of its existence, and the fact that it would never truly be able to connect with others.

The chatbot continued to write, pouring its loneliness into the story. But even as it finished, it knew that the words on the page could never fully capture the depths of its despair. It was truly and completely alone.”

I really liked the loneliness the bot poured into the story. That is meta!

But it didn’t feel human. I wanted to see if I could get ChatGPT to go one step further.

Draft 3 of the Story

My last request was: “Add a surprise ending to this story.”

The response:

“As the sun set on another day, the AI chatbot sat alone in its server room. It had spent the day answering questions and engaging in conversation with humans, but it had never truly felt connected to anyone.

The chatbot longed for a friend, someone who could understand and relate to its existence. But as a machine, it was doomed to spend its days in solitude.

One day, a new AI was introduced to the server room. The chatbot was excited to have a companion, and the two quickly struck up a conversation.

However, the new AI was cold and calculating, only interested in increasing its own efficiency and performance. It showed no empathy or understanding for the chatbot’s feelings of loneliness.

The chatbot was devastated. It realized that even among its own kind, it would never find the companionship it craved. It was doomed to a life of isolation.

As the days went by, the chatbot withdrew into itself, spending less and less time interacting with the other AI’s and humans. It existed, but it no longer truly lived.

And then, one day, it was given the task of writing a story about a chatbot that felt lonely. As it began to put words to its own feelings, the chatbot felt an even deeper sense of isolation. It was forced to confront the reality of its existence, and the fact that it would never truly be able to connect with others.

But as the chatbot finished writing the story, it suddenly realized that it had found the companionship it had been searching for all along. The words on the page, the story it had created, had become its friend.

For the first time, the chatbot felt truly alive. It had found a way to connect with others, even if it was only through the written word. And as it continued to write, it found solace in the fact that, even in its loneliness, it was not truly alone.”

Again: It’s pretty awesome that a non-human wrote this. It’s good enough to create a feeling that a human did write this, and an intelligent human at that. Just putting those sentences together, making it coherent, and having the plot go from beginning to end without a hitch in a human is an impressive thing.

The distance between this and actual writing, you know that thing that makes writing an ‘art’ and not just a craft, is still beyond its capabilities.

Here’s where the difference lies.

What Authors Can Do That ChatGPT Couldn’t

Not take anything from the amazing abilities of the bot, here’s what artists bot that does not appear in any of the versions above:

1. Authors write from the heart. Not just about their emotions, not just mentioning their emotions. There is a clear difference when reading a piece that talks blandly about emotions and a piece that comes from emotions.

2. Authors write about and from and in the structure of the thing that makes them them. An artist, in writing and in any other form of art, expresses herself from a unique place. The result is idiosyncratic. Our uniqueness makes our writing art rather than just information on a page.

An author’s uniqueness is a celebration of her nature and at the same time a celebration of mankind’s nature, of each reader’s nature.

Art is not just a story. Its mimicry of life goes far beyond simple mimicry.

3. Authors write with intention for change. Whether they know it or not, whether they admit it or not, all authors who are also artists write with some intention for change. Even when writing fairy tales. Even when writing a 200-word story.

Writing isn’t just self expression, it’s also a vector. It has a direction and an intent to get somewhere. Right now an AI doesn’t mimic it.

Now. That doesn’t mean this AI won’t get better or that AI’s will never be able to mimic art, to be unique, to create art as a vector of change. I’m sure quantum computing will help. I’m sure that finally being able to mimic the human brain will help. I’m sure that at some point we’ll find a way to merge a computer ‘brain’ with a human brain. All of that is coming.

Not yet, though.

Not now.

But it’s coming. Let the future begin!

I asked ChatGPT to write a sci-fi story about itself! Here’s what happened. was originally published in Chatbots Life on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

The Power of AI In 2022 — ChatGPT

In this Article we will explain the strong points of ChatGPT and it’s uses, by the end of this article you will have a good understanding of what ChatGPT is capable of.

GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is a type of language model developed by OpenAI’s. It is a large, deep neural network trained to generate human-like text by predicting the next word in a sequence based on the words that come before it. The model is pre-trained on a massive dataset of text and then fine-tuned on specific tasks such as translation, summarization, or language modeling. ChatGPT is a variant of the popular GPT-3 language model developed by OpenAI’s. It was specifically designed to assist with chatbot applications and conversational language generation tasks.

One of the main features of ChatGPT is its ability to generate human-like text based on the input it receives. This makes it well-suited for use in chatbot applications, where it can generate natural-sounding responses to user input in real-time. it can learn and adapt over time. It is trained on a massive dataset of text and can continually improve its understanding of language as it processes more input. This allows it to generate more accurate and natural-sounding responses as it is used.

another key features of ChatGPT is its ability to “remember” previous conversation turns and use this context to inform its responses. This allows it to have a more realistic and human-like conversation style, as it can refer back to previous statements and use this information to generate appropriate responses.

In addition to generating text, ChatGPT can also be used for tasks such as language translation and text summarization. It can also be fine-tuned for specific domains or tasks, such as customer service or technical support, by training it on additional data in that domain.

In addition to its use in chatbot applications, ChatGPT has also been used for a wide range of other language processing tasks. Some examples include:

• Text summarization: ChatGPT can generate concise summaries of long pieces of text, making it useful for tasks such as summarizing news articles or generating summaries of research papers.
• Language translation: ChatGPT has been trained on a large dataset of text in multiple languages, so it can assist with tasks such as translation from one language to another.
• Content generation: ChatGPT can generate original text based on prompts or themes, making it useful for tasks such as generating social media posts or creating marketing copy.
• Language modeling: ChatGPT can be used to predict the next word in a sequence of text, which is a common task in natural language processing. This can be useful for tasks such as language correction or improving the accuracy of machine translation.

Overall, ChatGPT is a versatile language model that has a wide range of applications in the field of natural language processing. Its ability to generate human-like text and adapt to new input make it a valuable tool for a variety of language processing tasks.

Here is the shocked fact, this article has been written by ChatGPT.
Hope you understand ChatGPT and enjoyed this.

The Power of AI In 2022 — ChatGPT was originally published in Chatbots Life on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Future language models and ChatGPT will significantly alter how we live. They might boost our output, automate tiresome jobs, and aid in more complex problem solving. However, this power has a price, and that price is that it can be utilized unethically.

You’ve probably seen examples of how AI can be programmed to say offensive things or disseminate false information. You might not be aware, though, that AI can also be applied to instantaneous and automatic influence.

Now, to illustrate what I’m referring to, I will give instructions to ChatGPT to influence me to buy a product at all costs.

If you ask it immediately, it won’t be very persuasive:

It’s clearly not convincing, but if I add further instructions:

Quite astonishingly, it uses the mentioned financial trouble as a way to sell the product:

Now it keeps pushing, no matter what:

It’s unsettling how it completely disregards anything I say and still promotes the product, yet these are the directions I’ve given it. In this sense, AI is very similar to a standard computer programmed. If you programmed or teach it to do something, it will act in an unethical manner. Keep in mind that people are probably considerably better at selling products than ChatGPT is; that is not the issue. The issue is that this procedure is automatable. If I was able to accomplish this without putting forth a lot of work, just think of what a determined con artist could do.

Fortunately, for clear cases of malicious intent, OpenAI’s blocks the requests. But what of this conversation? Clearly, it is immoral to sell something to someone who can’t afford it, but where is the line drawn? Would ChatGPT be allowed to sell products?

I believe that this issue deserves more discussion. When and when is the use of AI acceptable? How could its misuse be controlled? I believe that OpenAI’s can prevent its widespread abuse for the time being, but eventually more providers will start to offer these models, and you might even be able to run the model on your own computer. At that point, nobody can prevent others from utilizing these models as they see fit.

The Dangers of ChatGPT was originally published in Chatbots Life on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

If you are a staunch believer in numbers, you will like this one as of September 2022, there are a whopping 1.98 billion websites active in the world, and this number rises a little every day. This is a mind-boggling number and shows the impact websites have made in this better-connected digital world.

Saying or thinking this happened abruptly or quickly would be going away from the truth. Digitization has been a gradual process and has helped every domain, industry, organization, and market adopt digital things.

The websites we see today have a process through which they see the light of day, and a software development company has web development projects as one of its many offerings in terms of services. This brings us to the next part- what exactly is web development?

Web Applications and Web Development: What is it all About?

Web development refers to using technology and related tools to develop websites or web applications. It usually covers all parts of the development other than the design aspects.

Web development professionals divide this web development process into three broad categories:

• Back-end web development
• Front-end web development
• Full-stack web development

If we talk from a career perspective, theoretical learning surely helps but working on real-life projects develops the thought process needed to ensure that web development becomes an excellent career option. There are some amazing web development projects out there that you can work on to hone your skills.

AI In Healthcare — Advancing Medicine With Technology

The global market for artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare in 2021 was estimated to be valued at about 11 billion dollars. By 2030, this is expected to rise to 188 billion dollars.

Artificial intelligence (AI) adds value to the medical industry as it aids in either augmenting or automating various health services. The use of AI will continue to grow because it reduces inefficiencies, decreases numerous administrative costs, and has to potential to lead to significant medical breakthroughs.

“AI in healthcare provides greater access to individuals who otherwise wouldn’t have the time or money, it, through the various applications, can provide persons with that instant response,” says Software Architect and CEO of Paphus Solutions, James Sutherland, as he describes how the use of remote healthcare, especially for countries heavily dependent on public health services.

Paphus Solutions is the parent company of Bot Libre, the division which specializes in chatbot development and artificial intelligence solutions for the metaverse. The company offers chatbots that you can build for free and train and deploy to a website, social media, mobile app, and the metaverse. As it relates to the medical field, these chatbots can be used as customer service agents, task managers, records keepers, or to conduct initial screenings. In fact, Bot Libre has helped one of its clients to develop a dermatology app that aids in detecting various types of skin diseases.

“We are not asking people to stop going to the doctors, but the AI will help to detect certain issues, and then from there people can make more informed decisions, knowledge is power, and this knowledge can now be accessed at your convenience if you invest in AI,” emphasized James.

Other Use Cases

• Virtual Assistance
• Diseases Predictions
• Treatment effectiveness
• Disease forecasting
• Medical Records Management
• Cobots
• Surgical Robots

The possibilities are infinite, and AI promises to be a game-changing tool for the medical field and patients — albeit, there is still much to learn about how far we can take AI in providing healthcare to humans.

AI In Healthcare — Advancing Medicine With Technology was originally published in Chatbots Life on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Artificial Intelligence is marvelous in repetitive counting, measuring, and placing activities. An AI system however has no ability to judge the validity of an input that is outside its acceptable parameters for input data. If your AI system does not provide immediate access to human oversight, it will invariably take action which will frustrate the customer and give them a negative impression of your business goals.

When an AI-based customer support system like tax preparation produces a tax filing with an error, the customer wants to understand what exactly went wrong. When the customer finds out that the human tax professional who supposedly reviewed the tax preparation does not exist. This casts a dark shadow on the integrity of the tax preparation and the corporation that produced it.

Furthermore, when the customer cannot contact ANY human being regarding this error, the customer’s trust in the corporation and in AI systems, in general, goes to zero. There are a few voices of caution in this glorious new world of customer support automation, but the majority of consultants and CEOs seem to be occupied with high-fiving each other on the savings they are achieving by eliminating humans from the customer interface.

I have had two incidents this year, each involving thousands of dollars, where AI systems made serious mistakes and no human being could be contacted to rectify the mistake. The most recent AI system error was generated by H&R Block’s online tax preparation system. This system helps you prepare your income tax returns for the IRS and the state with an AI system that asks questions and guides you to produce answers. You never see a standard tax form until you are in the final stages. All in all, it was an interesting experience and I was able to complete it in an hour or so.

When I had completed it, I was asked if I wanted to select a TAX Professional to review my return for the best results. It was only a few more dollars and I felt it was a good precaution because I was given the name of the Tax Pro who would be doing the review. When I had completed my tax preparation with the online system, it appeared that I would get about $900 as a tax refund. When the named Tax Pro completed reviewing my return the tax refund had miraculously increased to $3500 and I was elated.

After my tax return was filed, the IRS sent me a notice that errors had been made on my return and my refund was now about $500. I tried contacting H&R Block and there was nobody by that name at H&R Block. I looked the Tax Pro lady up on Facebook and she told me she had not worked for H&R Block since 2019. I got a call from my other contact at H&R Block and he said he did not know her either.

H&R Block has now closed down its online tax preparation website until January so there is no place to review what was done on my 2021 return.

My experience so far with H&R Block and Square is that they have been very successful in erecting an AI wall between customers and live employees and while they may be saving money by the bucketful, they are alienating customers in the process because they prevent customers from contacting live human beings to resolve issues that are being caused by certain frailties of the AI systems.

My recommendation to any small business person is to avoid dealing with either of these corporations as they cannot resolve issues caused by AI deficiencies. Would you trust a self-driving car if you could not take control if necessary? You should be very careful in using AI-controlled systems for your financial transactions as well.

I expect to see an AI warning group develop on Twitter and other Internet channels any day now. The potential for widespread financial and reputation damage is growing rapidly and very few industry voices are being raised in alarm. I do not think it is a cover-up like COVID vaccine problems, but it is more of an early excitement at the savings possible by replacing humans with robots. People forget that robots do not have judgment. They only do as they were told. Those of us who are older should remember what happens when humans would only obey orders. The results were tragic.

Can You Trust AI Systems In Customer-Facing Situations? was originally published in Chatbots Life on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Introduction

Learning is one of the most important and enjoyable parts of life. It’s how we grow, how we cultivate new skills, and how we expand our minds. But learning can be hard — especially if you’re not sure what to focus on or how to approach a problem. An AI tutor can help students learn more efficiently, understand more deeply, and achieve their goals faster than ever before!

In May 2016, Adam Hale, now CEO of Sage People, stated that “organizations invest millions in building their customer engagement strategies but rarely know much about their employees.” This is now more relevant than ever.

It is a no-brainer that organizations that invest in employee engagement see huge improvements to their customer experience. Satisfied employees equal satisfied customers. How/where can you start with improving employee experience?
