On August 27, OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Anthropic, and 100+ other companies signed an open letter warning that AI-enabled cyberattacks are about to become far more widespread and sophisticated, with hospitals, water utilities, and internet infrastructure named as the most exposed.

The letter highlights that attackers are already using AI to write exploit scripts targeting industrial control systems and warns that the window to strengthen defenses is measured in months, not years.

See what the letter is calling for and what closing that gap should look like before the window closes. ➡️ https://hubs.li/Q04vZz3y0

One mistake a contact center can make with AI is choosing the technology before mapping the journey it's supposed to support.

For Mike Z***e, Chief Revenue and Experience Officer at Quiq, the journey comes first, layering in the channels that support it and building the plan around the experience a business wants to create for its customers. The technology comes after.

That order keeps the technology built around the experience customers actually want.

Some of the longest calls your team takes may be the most valuable for your business.

Handle time is one of the most closely watched metrics in the contact center and should be measured and optimized. However, optimizing it doesn't mean the shortest interactions are the best ones. Stanton Smith, VP of CX Consulting and Solution Engineering at Amplix, has found that longer interactions, at times, are the ones creating the most value for the customer.

That reframes what success should look like. A short call can look efficient on a dashboard while leaving a customer without real resolution. A longer call, handled well, builds the trust that keeps a customer with the business long after it ends.

People expect real-time, personalized service everywhere, from banking apps to same-day delivery, but healthcare hasn't caught up.

The conversation covers why repeated identity checks, mistransfers, and fragmented systems erode patient trust, and what that friction actually costs in lost revenue, operational overhead, and staff burnout.

The generation that built enterprise networks is retiring, and nobody is lined up to replace them.

Frank Scanga, Executive Vice Chairman of XTIUM, says a CCIE certification used to work like a "golden badge" with a salary to match. That combination helped pull the next wave of talent into the field. Now, that generation is approaching retirement, and few people are choosing to follow them in. They're passing on the work which Scanga says has become "almost perceived as infrastructure plumbing" next to something like AI.

That is a lot of institutional knowledge walking out the door with no one trained to catch it. Businesses that plan for it now, before retirement becomes a staffing crisis, are better positioned to keep their networks running smoothly.

Starting small with AI can feel like the safe move. It might actually be working against the experience you're trying to give your customers.

A lot of companies begin with a narrow focus, like an FAQ bot, following the common advice to stay specific and expand later. Mike Z***e, Chief Revenue and Experience Officer at Quiq, encourages companies to do just a little bit more than that.

Customers want an AI agent that can actually solve their problem, not just answer a question, whether that's processing a return, confirming a flight status, or updating an order. Companies that stop short of that are often just trying to protect against the AI saying the wrong thing, a risk guardrails are built to manage. Going a little further is how AI actually delivers on what customers expect.

Enterprise networks are getting smarter. The engineers who understand them best are heading for retirement, and the pipeline behind them is running dry.

In our latest episode of The Amplitude of Tech, Shawn Cordner talks with Frank Scanga, Executive Vice Chairman of XTIUM, about how networks have evolved from simple transport to AI enabled, self monitoring infrastructure, the coming network engineer shortage, and how to know when it's actually time to hand network management over to an outsourced provider.

AI amplifies whatever it's layered onto, the good and the bad.

Stanton Smith, VP of CX Consulting and Solution Engineering at Amplix, believes the real work happens before AI ever gets involved, figuring out how things should actually be structured first. Skip that step, and any problems you already have just get bigger, faster. Take the time to do it right, and the payoff shows up for your customers and your team.

Within the contact center, mundane and repeatable work, like a knowledge base search, an order status check, or a password reset, is exactly what AI can take off your team's plate. That frees your team up to spend more time with the customers who need real, hands-on help.
