AI Solutions for Next-Generation: 5 Ways to Build a Better 'Bot

Our world is increasingly powered by artificial intelligence. By the end of the next decade, AI will have generated $15.7 trillion in economic growth and touched virtually every area of our lives. But while AI is an incredibly powerful problem-solving tool, we're still a long way from the talkative, genuinely intelligent AI personalities that many of us grew up dreaming about. The truth is that while machine learning enables computers to spot patterns and carry out complex tasks, human-like intelligence (or even just the ability to convincingly fake it) remains elusive. Sure, some hotels now have robot butlers who'll help with your luggage -- but they're lousy conversationalists, and wouldn't have a prayer of passing the Turing test. To find AI systems that are genuinely capable of talking to humans, you need to look to more specialized tools designed for precisely that purpose.
