Abstract

In recent years, there has been a proliferation of social robots and chatbots that are designed so that users make an emotional attachment with them. This talk will start by presenting the first such chatbot, a program called Eliza designed by Joseph Weizenbaum in the mid 1960s. Then we will look at some recent robots and chatbots with Eliza-like interfaces and examine their benefits as well as various ethical issues raised by deploying such systems.
