    Companies of all sizes in just about every single industry are looking to see how AI, machine learning, and cognitive technology projects can provide a competitive edge, provide efficiencies, and improve ROI in today’s competitive landscape. As a result, this creates tremendous opportunity in the field of AI for professionals who are CPMAI certified and follow the CPMAI methodology. This globally recognized certification, now officially a Project Management Institute (PMI) certification, helps you stand out from the pack when it comes to scoping, managing, and understanding AI and ML projects. In this episode of the AI Today podcast we interview Chris Mielke. He is a Project Manager at Exela Pharma Sciences and is also CPMAI certified and has his PMP. What is CPMAI? In today’s rapidly changing world, staying up to date on AI is critical.

CPMAI is providing the framework needed. Chris shares common problems he sees with managing data and AI projects. He also shares how he is applying CPMAI in the real world.

AI-powered help centers use NLP to interpret customer inquiries. They can then be directed to relevant resources or guided through troubleshooting steps. Rather than just providing general help, which may or not actually address that person's issues, AI can now provide personalized service and help. Enhancing Interactions with AI The idea of hyperpersonalization, treating each individual as an individual, is enabled because of AI. Indeed, customer service is taking advantage of this by personalizing interactions. We share examples of how companies are analyzing customer data, and using AI to predict customer needs, offer personalized recommendations, and tailor interactions to individual preferences. With the help if AI, companies are also able to get customer feedback and sentiment analysis. AI can gauge customer sentiment in real-time which allows businesses to respond promptly to negative feedback or capitalize on positive experiences. We discuss how this is helping impact customer service at many different organizations. Undeniably, AI is transforming customer service. And, we provide many examples of AI's impact in this episode.
