New Facebook chatbots "can negotiate and plan ahead" Netimperative - latest digital marketing news

Facebook is now building chatbots that can negotiate and plan ahead like actual humans in a new AI experiment carried out by the social network's "Labs". According to New Scientist, the research could lead to more effective personal assistants able to negotiate on our behalf, such as sorting out calendar clashes. In the experiment, Facebook trained the bots by showing them negotiation dialogues between real people, then training the bots to "imitate people's actions," a process called supervised learning. In the training, the bots were asked to divide up a number of objects that each correlated with a different point value. The goal was to divide the objects through negotiation and end up with the most possible points.
