Over two-thirds satisfaction is quite surprisingly high, especially when you consider how dissatisfied people typically are with traditional automated systems.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Just over half (55%) of consumers across all age groups want interactions to be a mix of AI and humans, while 64 percent want AIs to be more \u2018human-like\u2019 rather than \u2018human-looking\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the fear surrounding AI intellect \u2013 likely instilled through sci-fi movies such as Terminator \u2013 appears to be decreasing. More than three in five consumers (62%) are now comfortable with an AI featuring human-like intellect.<\/p>\n<p>Where an AI has the desired human-like qualities, almost half (48%) say they feel more goodwill towards a company and would have a greater propensity to spend.<\/p>\n<p>One major benefit the majority (63%) of people felt AI had over humans was its 24\/7 availability and how it provides greater control over their interactions.<\/p>\n<p>Back in May, Google showed a demo of its impressive-yet-controversial \u2018Duplex\u2019 (now renamed to \u2018Duet\u2019) AI system which could make calls on a person\u2019s behalf while sounding like a human.
