Klarna CEO says company will use humans to offer VIP customer service


CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski told the crowd at London SXSW that his company plans to balance employees and AI workers.

“We think offering human customer service is always going to be a VIP thing,” he said, comparing it to how people pay more for clothing stitched by hand rather than machines. The Financial Times recently reported on the rise of fintech scams pointing out, for example, how susceptible residents in Singapore can be to them because they are more naturally trusting of various institutions. Siemiatkowski also once again addressed why the company stopped using Salesforce and Workday, saying it was because Klarna wanted to consolidate its data in a way that would be easier to feed into AI.
