ORCA Opti's Founder and Managing Director, Kathryn Giudes, was one of the contributors to Dynamic Business's Let's Talk feature on whether AI should be handling customer service. The piece, by Yajush Gupta, brought together Australian business leaders to weigh the productivity case against the very real downside of getting it wrong.

Kat cut straight to the cost side of the ledger:

"The risks of AI customer service are not theoretical. They're documented, expensive."
