Artificial Intelligence Has Arrived Top 4 A.I. ChatBot
The demand for commercial artificial intelligence has been driven by the highly competitive digital market space that requires 24 hours customer service and sales on site, (website). A.I. (Artificial intelligence) has ability to converse in natural language, A.I. chatbots bring us back to Max Headroom, circa 1980s, was hr actually a bot? Either way, Max made it comfortable for us to accept an A.I.chatbot rather than think its creepy.
What is Artificial Intelligence?
According to the father of Artificial Intelligence, John McCarthy, it is “The science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs”. Artificial Intelligence is a way of making a computer, a computer-controlled robot, or a software think intelligently, in the similar manner the intelligent humans think.
AI is accomplished by studying how human brain thinks, and how humans learn, decide, and work while trying to solve a problem, and then using the outcomes of this study as a basis of developing intelligent software and systems.

Philosophy of AI
While exploiting the power of the computer systems, the curiosity of human, lead him to wonder, “Can a machine think and behave like humans do?”
Thus, the development of AI started with the intention of creating similar intelligence in machines that we find and regard high in humans.
Goals of AI
- To Create Expert Systems − The systems which exhibit intelligent behavior, learn, demonstrate, explain, and advice its users.
- To Implement Human Intelligence in Machines − Creating systems that understand, think, learn, and behave like humans.
What Contributes to AI?
Artificial intelligence is a science and technology based on disciplines such as Computer Science, Biology, Psychology, Linguistics, Mathematics, and Engineering. A major thrust of AI is in the development of computer functions associated with human intelligence, such as reasoning, learning, and problem solving.
Out of the following areas, one or multiple areas can contribute to build an intelligent system.
The Train Left the Station A.I. Is Here
A.I. is back-end enterprise tool. Artificial intelligence (AI) is taking on forward facing interactive role with customers. From independent driving vehicles that use computer vision, to live translations made possible by machine learning, AI is making every interface both simple and smart-and rising the bar for how future A.I will work. The irony of A.I. and all the intrigue surrounding it, is the ability for the lay person to develop your own A.I. Chatbot, with limited coding experience.
Here are the Top Four DIY Chatbot building platforms to use if you want to build your own chatbot, according to Charlotte Jee | Jul 25, 2016 TechWord from IDG.

Microsoft
In March Microsoft announced it was bringing chatbot capabilities to Skype (with other products to follow) and launched Bot Builder for Node.js, a framework for constructing your own bots. “It can handle both freeform interactions and more guided ones where the possibilities are explicitly shown to the user,” according to Microsoft. It provides a platform where developers can build, test and publish their own bots, using frameworks like Express and Restify.
The Microsoft Bot Framework provides everything you need to build and connect your bots to your users wherever they converse – from SMS to Office365 mail to Slack and more… It’s your bot, wherever your users are talking. Learn how to use the Bot Framework to build a bot with your own existing code, use the Bot Builder to generate conversational dialogs from scratch, and more to give your bot skills with natural language processing and deep learning technology. Walk away with tools to build a great bot that can connect with users, wherever they are. -

Facebook Messenger
Facebook will now allow businesses to deliver automated customer support, e-commerce guidance, content and interactive experiences through chatbots. By providing utility through its huge developer and business ecosystem, Facebook could boost loyalty with Messenger, one-up SMS and keep up with chat competitors like Kik, Line and Telegram that have their own bot platforms.
How Messenger bots work
Through the Messenger Platform’s new Send/Receive API, bots can send more than just text. They will be able to respond with structured messages that include images, links and call to action buttons. These could let users make a restaurant reservation, review an e-commerce order and more. You can swipe through product carousels and pop out to the web to pay for a purchase.Importantly, Facebook’s Messenger Platform currently doesn’t allow payments directly through a credit card added to Messenger.
Facebook sure isn’t the only chatbot game in town, but because of Messenger’s 900 million user reach, its vast connections with advertisers and a healthy developer ecosystem built over years, it might provide the most attractive platform on which to run them. Businesses focus where the biggest number of customers are, and it doesn’t get any bigger than Facebook.
Dion Hinchcliffe summed it best. “In short, I believe smart chatbots will revolutionize digital/social engagement by adding a much needed automation and support of communication, knowledge management, and collaboration. There are also high value scenarios for chatbots connected to the e-commerce especially, an area that Facebook was careful to emphasize at F8. Chatbots will likely contribute to some digital noise as well, but filtering has proven effective in general for social environments in recent years. Overall, the emerging ensemble of conversational technologies is going to offer a compelling new access point to digital value for the average people in a very substantial way. At this point, I’d strongly recommend that most organizations add them to the new enterprise technologies to watch.) I will be adding smart chatbots to my upcoming 2016 enterprise tech watchlist on ZDNet as well.”
I am looking forward to the future of the Jetsons.
