How automation will change the service industry?
According to Gartner, "91% of organizations are planning to deploy AI within the next three years. By 2030, a billion service tickets will be raised automatically by customer-owned bots." As a service user, you make all the arrangements to use that service through an app or portal (in other words, a self-service solution). For example, Uber offers a seamless travel experience by automating calling a driver and even making payments. There are many such examples in the hospitality and travel industry. When a service is automated, it reduces turnaround time, improves customer experience, and provides better savings.
