Getting the Most out of Your AI Chatbot

When it comes to the origin of the very first chatbot, then that accomplishment goes to an MIT professor named Joseph Weizenbaum in the 1960s, who called it ELIZA at that time. However, ELIZA was later debunked by the professor himself since it lacked genuinely intelligent software in the first place. Nevertheless, its key methods became revolutionary and they have been copied by program developers ever since. Over the years the AI chatbot as we have come to know them went through a lot of progressions which became evident with the introduction of PARRY in 1972. PARRY was developed by psychiatrist Kenneth Colby at Stanford University and was proven to have intelligent capabilities through its examination with the Turing Test.
