How do we humans build bots that don’t suck—especially when training data sources like Twitter or Reddit can corrupt them into “Hitler-loving sex robots in 24 hours”? And WTF is up with gendering AI assistants female? Join industry leading ladies for some real talk on building and scaling intelligent bots. We’ll debate hot button issues like when to use AI and ML—and whether or not it really works. Should we design conversational software based on UX and consumer preferences—which many cite as why we’d rather boss around Alexa than Alex—or do we build for a better society even if it means censoring data? Hear diverse perspectives from experts on the Enterprise, Developer, Data Analytics, and Brand Experiences to learn critical bot building dos and don’ts in this rapidly evolving ecosystem.
