The convergence of AI-driven Customer Experience (CX) with the imperative of maintaining a balance between personalization and data privacy is explored in this comprehensive overview. The article emphasizes the dual nature of AI-driven personalization as both a powerful tool, utilizing advanced algorithms like neural networks, and a potential source of privacy concerns such as biases, reidentification risks, and opacity in decision-making.
