Abstract


Chatbots are dialogue systems that utilize computational linguistics (CL), including automatic speech recognition (ASR) and natural language processing (NLP). Artificially intelligent conversational agents combine personalization, interoperability, and scalability with the aim of promoting safe information monitoring, management, and retrieval. AI chatbots offer user-friendly engagement for innovative e-learning, care assistance, and multilingual digital content creation, promoting inclusiveness and AI-enhanced communication. They are a breakthrough for future societies and economies as they can offer cost-effective, tailor-made, and instant exchange of knowledge and skills, including on-site assistance, health monitoring, and e-consultation. AI chatbots are constantly improving to the benefit of their users. Their economic and social impact is expected to rise as individuals, especially vulnerable populations, are trained to use them for lifelong learning, decision-making, and problem-solving.
