 Abstract

These days, chatbots—AI-powered computers made to mimic human speech—

are a necessary part of the digital world. Chatbots are real-time response
19
systems that use machine learning and natural language processing (NLP). They
are used in customer service, e-commerce, healthcare, and entertainment,
among other industries. With the invention of ELIZA in the 1960s, chatbot
development began. Since then, technology has advanced dramatically,
especially with the introduction of sophisticated AI models in the 2010s. Thanks
to deep learning and the Transformer architecture, chatbots can now produce
language that appears human and grasp context better. This abstract examines
chatbots' technological developments, historical background, and potential
future applications, emphasizing how they are revolutionizing digital
communications.
1. Introduction
In today's digital world, chatbots—AI-driven computers that mimic human
conversation—are
11
essential. They provide real-time responses through the
use of natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning, and they are
commonly used in customer service, e-commerce, healthcare, and as
personal assistants like Siri and Alexa. Since ELIZA introduced chatbots to
the world in the 1960s, they have advanced tremendously, becoming more
intelligent and able to comprehend intricate human interactions. They are
essential in many industries because of their capacity to improve user
engagement and automate chores, which is revolutionizing the way we
interact with technology.

2. History

Joseph Weizenbaum of MIT invented ELIZA in the 1960s, marking the

beginning of the history of chatbots. By reflecting user inputs, ELIZA acted
as a psychotherapist, representing a major first step in the creation of
chatbots. Programs like Racter, an AI text generator, and PARRY, a
simulation of a person with paranoid schizophrenia, first appeared in the
1970s and 1980s.

With the introduction of the internet in the 1990s came more

experimentation; ALICE (Artificial Linguistic Internet Computer Entity)
used sophisticated pattern matching algorithms. Chatbots began to connect
with messaging services and social media in the 2000s; one example of this
is SmarterChild on AOL Instant Messenger.
Significant progress in machine learning and natural language processing in the
2010s resulted in the development of increasingly complex chatbots, such as
IBM's Watson. In the 2020s, deep learning and Transformer topologies have
made it possible for AI-driven chatbots to be widely used across businesses,
facilitating more intricate and natural conversations.

3. What is Chatbot ?

An artificial intelligence (AI) program called a chatbot is made to mimic human
