THE INTERVIEW

Exploring AI’s Role in Customer Service with Jeremie Farret, Cedrick Le Blanc, and Jean-Christophe Picard

In this episode of Unlocking the AI Advantage, host Ramesh Dontha sat down with Jeremie Farret, Cedrick Le Blanc, and Jean-Christophe Picard to dive into how AI is revolutionizing customer service in data centers and travel. They explored practical applications like energy optimization, predictive analytics, and AI-powered mapping, while sharing their visions for the future of customer support. Ramesh asked about AI’s impact on customer expectations, the balance between automation and human touch, and how businesses can use AI to stay ahead. Here’s what they had to say. 🚀

How has AI changed customer service in your industries?

AI has evolved from simple chatbots to becoming a core part of operations, offering real-time support, predictive insights, and intelligent automation. It’s helping businesses respond faster, personalize experiences, and even optimize physical infrastructure like energy use in data centers or guide travelers with location-based safety alerts.

âťť

The future of customer service is a hybrid model—AI for efficiency, humans for empathy.

What does the future of AI in customer service look like over the next five years?

The next phase of AI in customer service will focus on smarter prediction, greater transparency, and more contextual personalization. As customers expect tailored experiences and real-time data, AI will be used not just to assist, but to anticipate needs—whether in energy forecasting, tourism flows, or safety risks.

âťť

AI isn’t just about automation—it’s about anticipating customer needs.

How do you balance AI automation with the human touch in customer service?

The goal is a seamless handoff between AI and people to deliver high-quality service.
