Computers that can talk with their users in everyday language have been a research goal for decades. With recent advances in artificial intelligence and proliferation of networked devices, this goal is by at large realized as users take on conversational agents or chatbots for customer service, health information, public sector service provision, or even social or relational purposes. In this talk, Asbjørn Følstad will draw on his research on chatbots and conversational user experience to outline and discuss how users experience chatbots, promising areas of chatbot use, and possible implications of chatbots to users and society.
