How A.I. will be fully integrated into our lives in the near future – VentureBeat - Bots - Adam Milton-Barker, TechBubble Technologies

Chatbots are certainly not a new technology, but the recent surge in interest is playing a very important role in the evolution of artificial intelligence: Chatbots are helping A.I. become publicly accessible and accepted. Even with all the technological advances we have seen over the past few years, there is still a fairly large disconnect between technology and the general public and businesses, particularly in the case of A.I. A.I. has been a taboo subject, an issue that I have had to face and tackle in my personal and business life. From valid concerns about jobs lost through automation, to slightly more existential warnings from Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking, to worries raised by films like The Terminator, The Matrix, and I, Robot, A.I. has not had a very good start, with most people fearing the advancements of this life-changing technology. Through chatbots, people have taken a step back from these fears and begun to accept that A.I. is part of our lives now. Although they have been using A.I. in their everyday life for many years on platforms such as Facebook and Google, they haven't seemed to really be aware of it or they have turned a blind eye to it.
