ContactEngine - Conversational AI

I'm not sure why, but I think it's the random nature of conversation. If it's a work thing then the conversation is likely to be constrained by the context. So, if I'm speaking at an AI event, about say automating dialogue, then I'm okay… Chances are people will want to talk about something I have a view on. But at a party, all hell can break loose - people start talking about things I have no idea about. Recently someone started a conversation with me that assumed I knew what TOWIE was (I gather it's part soap opera, part reality show and follows the lives, loves and scandals of a group…………well, you get the idea).
