Chatbots and AI: The evolution of intelligent conversation - Verdict

#artificialintelligence

Chatbots are one of the main real-world business implementations of artificial intelligence (AI) software today, with companies all over the world using them to reduce the need for expensive human interaction with customers. As such, chatbot tech may seem to be a very modern phenomenon, and its widespread use is indeed quite recent. But in fact, chatbots have been around for a very long time. The oldest chatbot on record is ELIZA, created from 1964 to 1966 by Joseph Weizenbaum at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. ELIZA's origins lay in the famous Turing Test, devised by British computing genius Alan Turing in 1950.


Alcohol blocks a chemical in the brain that focuses our attention, study finds

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Drinking a lot of booze makes it harder to concentrate as alcohol blocks a chemical in the brain responsible for focusing our attention, a new study revealed. Researchers from the University of Texas Health Science Centre set out to explain the process in the brain that causes alcohol to make someone less focused. A chemical called norepinephrine is used by the brain to help us pay attention but'acute exposure to alcohol inhibits this signal in the brain', the team found. While it is known that alcohol affects the brain's motor control, leading to people being unsteady on their feet when they walk, this is the first time that research has shown that boozing affects a person's attention span. Study lead, Professor Martin Paukert, said that when attention is needed for a task, norepinephrine is secreted by a brain structure called the locus coeruleus.


Brain circuit that controls compulsive drinking of alcohol has been discovered in mice

Daily Mail - Science & tech

A brain circuit that controls the compulsive drinking of alcohol has been discovered in mice, offering a hope of one day finding a cure for alcoholism in humans. Scientists have long sought to understand why some people are prone to develop drinking problems while others are not. The team's discovery in mice, if translated to humans, may provide doctors a way to reveal whether someone is likely to become a compulsive drinking later in life. Alcoholism is a chronic brain disease in which an individual drinks compulsively -- often accompanied by negative emotions. Whereas previous studies have focused on examining the brain after a drinking disorder develops, the researchers from the Salk Institute in California set out to prove that brain circuits can make some people more likely to be alcoholics.


Japanese doctor wages war on internet addiction, advising rehab for online gamers

The Japan Times

How much gaming is too much gaming? This is the question Japan's pre-eminent addiction expert, Dr. Susumu Higuchi, is trying to answer as he treats people whose lives have been destroyed by video game addiction. Online gaming addiction has become the fastest-growing form of addiction in the 21st century, and it's the most vulnerable people -- children -- who mainly fall prey to its psychoactive effects, Higuchi says. As head of the Kurihama Medical and Addiction Center in Kanagawa Prefecture, which started the country's first program for internet addition in 2011, Higuchi is rolling up his sleeves to tackle a scourge that has eaten into the vitals of our society. "This isn't just about Japan, it's happening all over the world," Higuchi said in a recent interview.

Girl in rehab after becoming addicted to video game Fortnite

Daily Mail - Science & tech

A nine-year-old girl is in rehab after becoming so addicted to a video game she wet herself to avoid moving and hit her father when he tried to stop her playing. The primary school pupil became obsessed with Fortnite, which been downloaded more than 40 million times since it was launched last July. She would secretly play the survival shooter game during the night and didn't even get up to use the toilet because she couldn't prise herself away from the screen. The girl, who is now in intensive therapy to combat her addiction, would play for up to 10 hours a day. Worn out from all-night sessions, she dozed off at school.


This Rehab Robot Will Challenge You to Tic-Tac-Toe

IEEE Spectrum Robotics

Physical rehabilitation is not something that anyone does for fun. You do it grudgingly, after an illness or accident, to try and slowly drag your body back toward what it was able to do before. I've been there, and it sucks. I wasn't there for nearly as long as I should have been, however: rehab was hard and boring, so I didn't properly finish it. Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel, led by Shelly Levy-Tzedek, have been experimenting with ways of making rehab a bit more engaging with the addition of a friendly robot arm.
