Task

The AI system is a virtual assistant that processes service requests over the phone (e.g. payment systems) and answers user-specific inquiries 24/7.

Intent

The goals of the AI system are to reduce administrative workload and provide reliable support for users during and after business hours without increasing costs.

AI Workflow

Input

A user calls the support line and asks a question.

Process

The AI system uses speech-to-text natural language understanding and retrieval to generate responses.

Output

If the AI system understands and retrieves the necessary details (e.g. the status of a payment) it replies via text-to-speech; otherwise it hands off to a human during business hours or asks the user to call back in-hours.

Human Oversight Level

Conditionally Autonomous AI

Institutional Oversight Examples

  • Privacy by design (organization best practice)
  • Fine-tuning (organization best practice)
  • Post-deployment monitoring (organization best practice)
  • Ethics impact assessment (organization policy)
  • Inclusive multimodal access mandate (organization policy)
  • AI procurement practices (organization policy)
  • Data security (industry standard)
  • Risk assessment and management (regulation)
  • Data protection (regulation)
  • Automated decision-making transparency (regulation)

Risk

The AI system could misinform users by generating incorrect or incomplete responses; the system may fail to understand the user's request.
