T-Mobile is rapidly integrating AI into its customer service, replacing its legacy system with Expert Assist AI and pushing for self-help through the T-Life app. This shift is causing concern among customers, with a recent survey showing that 73% expect inferior support, and employees are reportedly caught between automation goals and frustrated users. While theoretically AI could improve customer experience, current implementations are leading to difficulties and a perception that T-Mobile is prioritizing a digital-first approach over human support.
