6 challenges future chatbots face

In the 2013 film Her, Spike Jonze offered his take on a society in which our closest relationships are with technology, not humans. The movie tells the story of a lonely man who purchases a voice-controlled robot that evolves to meet his needs. Samantha, as she's known, eventually becomes so in sync with him that they fall in love. Oddly enough, the technology in Her is not as far away as you might think. At her core, Samantha is an interface capable of interpreting needs through conversation and contextual cues.
