Keith Harper, Pre-Sales Engineer, Sycurio

AI is changing the way organisations in every industry interact with customers and their data, particularly through its use in contact centres.

From providing quicker, smoother customer experiences, powering self-service, delivering secure billing and payment solutions and augmenting agents, to cutting down on fraud risks, AI is revolutionising contact centre operations.

As both customer and business needs evolve, the payments landscape, channels and services are expanding, necessitating heightened security and protection. Today, hosted AI services are making their way into the payment environment, introducing both opportunities and challenges.

  • Creating a harmonious balance between efficiency, convenience, and PCI DSS compliance when embracing AI services in the evolving payment ecosystem
  • Weighing up the benefits of open data sources against the imperative of safeguarding sensitive information
  • Why AI services which are accessing, processing and storing data from diverse sources will create complexities and concerns around data security and achieving and maintaining PCI DSS compliance
