include:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li><b>CX staffing will rise by 20% after overzealous cuts, focusing on AI-supporting roles.<\/b> After two years of widespread layoffs across CX teams, companies will increase hiring for roles such as natural language processing engineers, data scientists, and AI experience designers to identify high-value AI use cases and strengthen AI capabilities.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li><b>Human-generated content will become a top priority (again) for 50% of brands.<\/b> As AI-generated content floods digital channels, marketers will increasingly rely on experts, customers, and documented evidence to build trust and credibility, making authenticity a core feature of brand interactions.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li><b>One in 20 US and UK consumers will abandon traditional shopping for conversations.<\/b> Brands that prioritize trust over automation will be best positioned to capitalize on agentic commerce and increasingly hand routine purchases to autonomous AI agents.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n\u201cThe challenge for leaders in 2027 will be gaining greater control without limiting growth,\u201d said Sharyn Leaver, chief research officer at Forrester. \u201cWhether managing AI costs, preparing for agentic commerce, or earning trust in an increasingly synthetic digital world, organizations must make more deliberate decisions about where AI creates value, where human expertise matters most, and where investment is best spent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Resources:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul
