Hollywood has made a killing over the last few decades with sci-fi hits featuring sentient AI and human-like artificial constructs. But what if future chatbots transcended fiction by replicating authentic human interaction? What if they really could grasp the human experience?

Conversational AI used to be a fantasy straight out of an Isaac Asimov novel. Bilal Zaheer, Chief of Strategy and Growth at Metriarc, thinks that fantasy could become a reality much sooner than you think.

Bilal tears back the curtain on the programming challenges around conversational AI and why it may evolve into a necessity for certain demographics.
