Why AI Fails Without Humans – Forrester’s Rusty Warner on the Future of CX

from Meikes Raumzeit

When companies talk about AI, the conversation often revolves around efficiency, automation and speed. But before AI can be scaled in a meaningful way, it needs something technology alone cannot provide: clear goals, sustainable structures and a shared understanding of the value it is meant to create for customers, employees and the business.In this episode of Meikes Raumzeit, recorded live at the Forrester CX Summit EMEA 2026 in Amsterdam, Meike Tarabori speaks with Rusty Warner, Vice President and Principal Analyst at Forrester. Together, they explore why successful AI transformations do not start with technology, but with people, processes and strategy. The conversation focuses on the Human Foundation of the AI-Powered Enterprise, on Customer Experience, Brand Experience and Employee Experience – and on why AI does not fix broken processes, but often only makes them faster.A conversation about customer centricity, Total Experience, responsibility, data, marketing beyond old campaign logic, and how companies can use AI to create real value – for customers, employees and the business.***************************************Wenn Unternehmen über KI sprechen, geht es oft um Effizienz, Automatisierung und Geschwindigkeit. Doch bevor KI wirklich sinnvoll skaliert werden kann, braucht es etwas, das Technologie allein nicht schaffen kann: klare Ziele, tragfähige Strukturen und ein gemeinsames Verständnis davon, welchen Nutzen sie für Kunden, Mitarbeitende und das Unternehmen stiften soll.In dieser Folge von Meikes Raumzeit live vom Forrester CX Summit EMEA 2026 in Amsterdam spricht Meike Tarabori mit Rusty Warner, Vice President und Principal Analyst bei Forrester.
