Despite rapid rise of AI chatbots in customer service, customers prefer human agents

webfull — Fri, 29 Aug 2025 19:48:10 +0000

If it feels like customer service chatbots are everywhere, it’s because they are. The worldwide chatbot market has grown from US$370 million in 2017 to about US$2.2 billion in 2024. But customers trust human customer service representatives more than they trust AI chatbots, writes Vivek Astvansh, an Associate Professor of Quantitative Marketing and Analytics at ��ñ�� Desautels.

Rebranding of DEI initiatives is a reactive response to external pressures

webfull — Fri, 29 Aug 2025 19:45:44 +0000

The pushback against diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs gained momentum in the first half of 2025. And while some institutions are eliminating DEI initiatives, others are rebranding them. “The University of Alberta, for instance no longer has a vice-provost of equity, diversity and inclusion,” writes ��ñ�� Desautels lecturer Simon Blanchette in The Conversation. “Instead, it now has an office for ‘access, community and belonging.’” But these rebranding efforts are mostly about appeasement and lack genuine community engagement.

webfull — Fri, 29 Aug 2025 19:43:43 +0000

When 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants went on strike, more than 100,000 passengers were left stranded. For many of those affected, the experience has been an overwhelming one. For stranded passengers, the Air Canada strike combines three powerful stressors: uncertainty, lack of control and crowding, writes Associate Professor of Organizational Behaviour Jean-Nicolas Reyt in The Conversation. Each of these factors is stressful on its own, and combined, they can overwhelm even the most patient travellers.

Whether renting or buying, Canadians are exposed to risk

webfull — Fri, 29 Aug 2025 19:41:02 +0000

Buying a home can help you build household wealth, but renting has fewer overall costs, which allows you to save more of the money you earn. While the conventional wisdom has been that buying is the better financial decision for most people, sky-high real estate costs change the equation. Stock markets have also performed well in recent decades, and investing the surplus left over from renting can pad your personal finances in a big way—if you actually do it.
