This blog is written by the group TY12. In this blog we will be trying to explain in detail the types of chat bots, their development, and how they're made. Before we start properly, let's get a few basics down pat. A chat bot (Conversational AI) is an automated program that simulates human conversation through text messages, voice chats, or both. It learns to do that based on a lot of inputs, and Natural Language Processing (NLP).

The idea of chatbots based on dead people raises several ethical questions surrounding privacy. People only share so much on social media, so algorithms relying on that would be flawed. Humans are also highly complex and influenced by experiences that aren't always shared via text messages. Microsoft's patent suggests that the company could use crowdsourced data to fill in any gaps. In other words, the resulting chatbot could end up saying things the person never said.

Digital disruption is leaving no industry untouched, irrespective of geography. Digital disruptors and cloud natives are radically transforming business models. Digital transformation is no more a buzzword. We see technology evolving like never before and accelerating in scope and reach. While the year 2017 more or less stabilized new technologies, the coming year could see a significant incline.

We've seen AI-powered chat bots spread across different services, but Google is opening up a way for more companies to get in on the action. With "Actions on Google," you can stay in your app (or talking to an Assistant-enabled device like Google Home) to do something like order food just by having a conversation. On stage, the demo showed off ordering delivery from Panera, without needing to enter your home address or payment information, or even create a specialized account. Support for actions has been available since Google Home launched but only worked with a limited number of services. Now that it supports transactions, it's about to get a lot more useful.

Artificial intelligence chat bots are easy to write in Python with the AIML package. AIML stands for Artificial Intelligence Markup Language, but it is just simple XML. These code examples will walk you through how to create your own artificial intelligence chat bot using Python. AIML was developed by Richard Wallace. He made a bot called A.L.I.C.E.

In the last year we have seen chat bots take the consumer market by storm and this trend shows no signs of slowing down. Chat bots are add-ons for messenger platforms such as Facebook's Messenger platform or Microsoft's Cortana that provide automated, intelligent responses to questions, mimicking a conversation with a real human being. Brands using chat bots aim to provide users with a seamless experience, enabling them to access services and information directly and instantaneously. The potential gains for big brands are undeniable, but could businesses be using chat bots to get ahead too? And if so, what are the big considerations? Recent research shows that customers have already warmed to the idea of using chat bots to communicate with brands, with many believing they hold the key to speed of service and unlocking immediacy in online stores.

You'd think that after its last AI chat bot fiasco, Microsoft would've learned its lesson -- or at least waited a bit longer before introducing another monster to the world. Luckily for us, history has a tendency to repeat itself, and the company's latest creation is a sometimes hilarious entity known as Captionbot. The premise is simple -- recognize the contents of a photo, and come up with an appropriate caption. But alas, while the concept may be straightforward, the execution isn't always so cut and dry. And social media has been quick to point out all of Captionbot's faux pas.

Search marketers turning a blind eye to artificial intelligence might want to take a closer look. On Wednesday Microsoft introduced Tay, "an artificial intelligence chat bot" that could become the customer service host on the next Web site you visit. Her Twitter profile reads: The official account of Tay, Microsoft's A.I. fam from the internet that's got zero chill! At its core, what is a search engine? It's artificial intelligence based on natural language pulling information from across the Web from learnings to provides information back to the person who queries the question.

Microsoft's Tay AI is youthful beyond just its vaguely hip-sounding dialogue -- it's overly impressionable, too. The company has grounded its Twitter chat bot (that is, temporarily shutting it down) after people taught it to repeat conspiracy theories, racist views and sexist remarks. We won't echo them here, but they involved 9/11, GamerGate, Hitler, Jews, Trump and less-than-respectful portrayals of President Obama. Yeah, it was that bad. The account is visible as we write this, but the offending tweets are gone; Tay has gone to "sleep" for now.
