He then discussed the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation in enhancing customer experience. These technologies have empowered organizations to streamline processes, provide personalized recommendations, and improve overall service efficiency. However, Nikhil emphasized the importance of maintaining a human touch in these interactions to foster genuine connections and trust.
