Chatbots are virtual communication tools that offer support and assistance to global customers who could be anywhere in the world. This year, 40 per cent of the largest businesses intend to start using chatbots, which are actually virtual assistants.
What is a chatbot?
It does not involve a human at all but is the first port of call for a customer seeking information about a product on a website. It is an automated, programmed service that can answer customer’s inquiries, their complaints and concerns about a product they have purchased. If the chatbot gets confused and cannot offer a satisfactory response, the customer will be forwarded to a customer service representative who is actually a human.Chatbots are not the perfect answer to the communication, as they can not necessarily respond to everything in a satisfactory manner so a human has to be brought in to take up the matters, but increasingly they are acting as a fast communication tool.
Chatbots and different languages
Because chatbots are artificial intelligence, they can be programmed into many different languages, which helps those businesses to communicate with customers overseas as well as in their own country.
Mobile 5G is on its way
5G means that more data can be accessed at a faster rate, so this means more and better communication, more content generation and streaming, more entertainment, and information sharing will become much faster and far more efficient. The expectation in the not too distant future is that mobile technology with 5G will be accessible to more and more people so this will merge borders between countries as daily communication improves.
This, in turn, sees an increase in demand for translation, which is the backbone to ensuring understanding in an ever globalising world.
Cambodian government officials from the Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sport came together to join the Lower Mekong Initiative Professional Communication Skills for Leaders Education Pillar Seminar. Participants of the seminar strengthened their professional communication skills through interactive sessions and workshops while also networking with peers and developing their professional portfolio.
The session was very interactive and even included a mock interview where we applied the skills learned.
