The emergence of advanced AI technologies like OpenAI's GPT-4o and Google's Gemini poses a threat to traditional BPO industry models. Analysts fear that adoption of these technologies could render half of BPO job roles redundant.
OpenAI's GPT-4o, capable of real-time conversational speech and reasoning across voice, text, and vision, particularly shakes up the sector. Infosys' CTO mentions AI's current augmentation of customer service roles.
With AI encroaching on routine tasks, BPOs face a significant restructuring. This shift signals a transformative period for the industry, challenging its traditional norms and business models.
