Communication in today's times has taken a whole new meaning with technological innovations becoming a more central part of our social routine. "Chatting" or texting via messenger apps is the preferred way of staying in touch -- professionally and socially. Chat apps are evolving at a frenzied rate and becoming more human. Incorporation of AI elements in a messaging app to help ease conversations is the obvious next step, in a time when AI is transforming many industries and businesses around the world. OLPORTAL has created an ecosystem where AI neurobots can be developed that can help in messaging.

Petuum, an artificial intelligence platform company, announced Petuum Neurobots, a series of intelligent process automation (IPA) tools that provide cutting-edge AI capabilities to robotic process automation (RPA). This enables enterprise customers to quickly and cost-effectively deploy powerful RPA bots with the most advanced AI and machine learning (ML) technology. "We believe AI technology must be accessible to all companies of all sizes across different industries to achieve better business results. Neurobots are a critical part of Petuum's larger strategy to provide state-of-the-art AI that will transform RPA bots into intelligent agents that are cognitive, able to learn, think, and collaborate (with human and other bots), and therefore realize fully-operationalized business automation," said Dr. Eric Xing, founder and CEO of Petuum. The first Neurobots introduced include Kaibot for interactive conversational applications such as chatbots, Chimebot for automatic speech recognition, Chicbot for fashion applications and Pixbot for image understanding and enhancements.

Well, there have been plenty of developments in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), but opinions about them have been quite varied. One can marvel at how AI was able to perform traditionally "human" activities such as winning at poker or writing music. And, Google's predictive search, which can sometimes make outlandish suggestions and be eerily spot on at times, might make one sceptical too. However, AI can also be scary, as imperfections in the technology could also lead to harm.
