Satya Nadella is wrong about chatbots

At Microsoft's recent Worldwide Partner Conference, CEO Satya Nadella laid out his vision for a world in which A.I.-powered chatbots "fundamentally revolutionize how computing is experienced by everybody." Bots, according to Nadella, will become the next interface, shaping our interactions with the applications and devices we rely on. Of course, granting bots more control over our apps and devices naturally requires that we create rules to govern how they operate. Nadella earlier outlined a set of rules for bots that prioritizes empathy, efficiency and assistance. "A.I. must be designed to assist humanity," he wrote.
