There is understandably a lot of discussion about the benefits and risks of AI, and what its impact will be on humans, society and humanity as a whole. Technology and AI are certainly going to be part of ethics and compliance programs going forward, and I view it more as “how to do we use effectively” rather than “should we use this.”

Technology such as Global Entry is great because I can skip the lines at immigration and don’t feel a need to speak with a person as part of the process, but there are other times when human needs are better served by connecting with another person.
How are other people introducing artificial intelligence into their programs while balancing this with emotional intelligence and maintaining a human focused approach?
