Possible Limitations of AI-Based Bots

 The examples above already show the present-day potential of AI-based bots.

At present, these systems are still in an early stage and still have certain limitations and potentials for optimisation.



Twitter Bot Tay by Microsoft

Most bots at present are reactive service bots. Engagement bots that actively

interact with the users as market and brand ambassadors go one step further.

The most famous example here is the chatbot Tay by Microsoft.

Microsoft removed Tay from the web apologetically within one day. The

example shows that the uncontrolled training of bots by the community can

lead to fatal consequences. AI systems still have to learn ethical standards.

It thus becomes apparent that even bots require a kind of guideline. Like

a journalist has to observe editorial guidelines, bots have to observe certain

standards. The next generation of AI-based bots must control and create the

possible room for communication.

IBM Watson has been able to celebrate quite a few respectable results in

the field of AI, such as winning the much-quoted Jeopardy game Champs

Of The Champions (all winners of Jeopardy competed against each other).

To make the system seem more human, the IBM researchers tried to add the

Urban Directory as training database. The Urban Directory contains colloquial language and slang.

The limitations of present-day AI are evident in the fact that the system

cannot really differentiate between obscenity and courtesy. Watson, for example, replied to a serious question a scientist asked with the word “bullshit”

that was certainly not adequate in this context. Humans are able to intuitively

conduct this interpretation and reasoning—present-day AI systems cannot.

What is Machine Learning

 The term machine learning (ML) as a part of artificial intelligence is ubiq- uitous nowadays. The term is used for a wide number of various appli- cations and methods that deal with the “generation of knowledge from experience”. The well-known US computer scientist Tom Mitchell defines machine learning as follows: A computer program is said to learn from experience E with respect to some class of tasks T and performance measure P, if its performance at tasks in T, as measured by P, improves with experience E (Mitchell 1997). An illustrative example of this would be a chess computer program that improves its performance (P) in playing chess (the task T) by experience (E), by playing as many games as possible (even against itself ) and analysing them (Mitchell 1997). Machine learning is not a fundamentally new approach for machines to generate “knowledge” from experience. Machine learning technology was used to filter out junk e-mails a long time ago. Whilst spam filters that tack- ...

Random Forest Classifier

  The algorithm gradient boosted regression trees, also called random forests, belong to the ensemble learning methods This classifier uses an ensemble of weak regression trees that have a low hit quota when considered in isola- tion. The quality of the prediction can be improved significantly when vari- ous trees are trained with different parameters or samples. The results of the individual trees are aggregated to a total result which then enables a more balanced and high-quality prediction. The so-called bagging triggered a boom of the traditional regression trees. As aggregation, either a majority vote or a probability function is chosen (Fig. 5.5). The lead prediction generates high-conversion leads because • The entire spectrum of information available about a company is inte- grated into the decision-making; • The data is highly topical and without bias; • The random forest is capable of abstracting complex correlations in the data; and • The method learns iteratively from t...
