The future of chatbots

It is difficult to exactly predict how AI will upend our society in the next few years. Just like nuclear technology has been used to develop nuclear weapons and to power nuclear power plants, AI can also be used for noble causes or for nefarious purposes. It is not hard to imagine that militaries around the world have powerful weapons that take advantage of AI techniques. For example, using currently "off-the-shelf" technology, we could build a drone, give it the picture of the person that is an intended target, and let the drone hunt that person down until they are eliminated.

Even if the technology is used for more constructive use cases, it is hard to predict how the technological disruption will unfold in the next couple of years. There are various studies predicting, to some degree, that entire industries will no longer need as many workers as they have had in the past because of productivity increases powered by AI. Two "low-hanging fruit...
