Towards an Artificial General Intelligence. 330 $aPrimitive 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. 606 $aNatural language processing (Computer science) 606 $aMachine learning 606 $aArtificial intelligence 606 $aComputers$xHistory 606 $aComputers and civilization 606 $aNatural Language Processing (NLP) 606 $aMachine Learning 606 $aArtificial Intelligence 606 $aHistory of Computing 606 $aComputers and Society 615 0$aNatural language processing (Computer science) 615 0$aMachine learning. 615 0$aArtificial intelligence. 615 0$aComputers$xHistory. 615 0$aComputers and civilization. 615 14$aNatural Language Processing (NLP). 615 24$aMachine Learning. 615 24$aArtificial Intelligence. 615 24$aHistory of Computing. 615 24$aComputers and Society. 676 $a371.33/4 700 $aCiesla$b Robert$0877865 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910800116003321 996 $aThe Book of Chatbots$93874444 997 $aUNINA
