This book explores the subject of artificial psychology from the standpoint of how online Chatbots have infiltrated and affected societies and the world in general. The book explores the psychological effects of depending on an online entity for our needs – even if it’s a reminder of scheduled events. The author provides insight into the notion of human-Chatbot exchanges, understanding, and false emotions both from the Chatbot and from the human. He goes on to investigate and discuss the dangers of too much reliance on technology that learns from a variety of sources and how some sources can negatively influence Chatbots, and by doing so, negatively affect people. The book also discusses human-Chatbot interactions and the natural language interface(s) required to respond adequately to humans. Lastly, the author explores the notion of ethical considerations for people, based on their interactions with Chatbots, including information based on cultural differences between different regions of the world.

Abstract: Intelligent assistants provide a lot of potential in the development of scalable mentoring solutions for higher education. Chatbots became popular also in this field, but they may cause users' frustration if they do not understand the user correctly. Therefore, it is crucial to evaluate their performance in recognizing user messages, in order to know their weak points and improve them accordingly. In their experiments, the autors took one chatbot used by students of educational sciences and evaluated it from various perspectives. The results indicate that this kind of validation can help to improve the usability of chatbots in the learning domain. (DIPF/Orig.)

Primitive software chatbots emerged in the 1960s, evolving swiftly through the decades and becoming able to provide engaging human-to-computer interactions sometime in the 1990s. Today, conversational technology is ubiquitous in many homes. Paired with web-searching abilities and neural networking, modern chatbots are capable of many tasks and are a major driving force behind machine learning and the quest for strong artificial intelligence, also known as artificial general intelligence (AGI). Sophisticated artificial intelligence is changing the online world as advanced software chatbots can provide customer service, research duties, and assist in healthcare. Modern chatbots have indeed numerous applications — including those of a malicious nature. They can write our essays, conduct autonomous scams, and potentially influence politics. The Book of Chatbots is both a retrospective and a review of current artificial intelligence-driven conversational solutions. It explores their appeal to businesses and individuals as well as their greater social aspects, including the impact on academia. The book explains all relevant concepts for readers with no previous knowledge in these topics. Unearthing the secrets of virtual assistants such as the (in)famous ChatGPT and many other exciting technologies, The Book of Chatbots is meant for anyone interested in the topic, laypeople and IT-enthusiasts alike.

A chatbot is expected to be capable of supporting a cohesive and coherent conversation and be knowledgeable, which makes it one of the most complex intelligent systems being designed nowadays. Designers have to learn to combine intuitive, explainable language understanding and reasoning approaches with high-performance statistical and deep learning technologies. Today, there are two popular paradigms for chatbot construction: 1. Build a bot platform with universal NLP and ML capabilities so that a bot developer for a particular enterprise, not being an expert, can populate it with training data; 2. Accumulate a huge set of training dialogue data, feed it to a deep learning network and expect the trained chatbot to automatically learn “how to chat”. Although these two approaches are reported to imitate some intelligent dialogues, both of them are unsuitable for enterprise chatbots, being unreliable and too brittle. The latter approach is based on a belief that some learning miracle will happen and a chatbot will start functioning without a thorough feature and domain engineering by an expert and interpretable dialogue management algorithms. Enterprise high-performance chatbots with extensive domain knowledge require a mix of statistical, inductive, deep machine learning and learning from the web, syntactic, semantic and discourse NLP, ontology-based reasoning and a state machine to control a dialogue. This book will provide a comprehensive source of algorithms and architectures for building chatbots for various domains based on the recent trends in computational linguistics and machine learning. The foci of this book are applications of discourse analysis in text relevant assessment, dialogue management and content generation, which help to overcome the limitations of platform-based and data driven-based approaches.

Colleges, universities and other higher education institutions are displaying a high degree of uncertainty and caution with respect to the adoption and use of AI. Concerns related to security, privacy, and academic misconduct act as cautions, though some are pioneering imaginative and creative uses of AI in teaching, learning, assessment and support services. This book explores the landscape of AI adoption and suggests ways in which AI can be deployed to improve learning and assessment. It also examines ethical and change management implications of AI. A strong focus on ethical AI, the use of AI for regenerative thinking and a shift to problem and project-based learning are all explored as ways of overcoming faculty concerns. This future-focused book is recommended for policy makers in government; leadership teams in colleges, polytechnics and universities; and for graduate students seeking to make sense of the fast-moving landscape.
