Hybrid Threat

Both AI software and physical automation threaten different aspects of this role, creating a compound risk from multiple directions.

AI chatbots and RAG-powered help desk tools (Intercom, Zendesk AI) now resolve 60-80% of Tier 1 support tickets autonomously. Human specialists are shifting to Tier 2/3 escalations and AI system oversight. The trend accelerated sharply in 2024 as LLMs became reliable enough for customer-facing deployment.
