Summary | Experts predict that how we use new media will change drastically in the next two years thanks to chatbots: artificial intelligence services that appear on various social media or devices. They have existed for a while but their understanding of voice commands has improved immensely making them very user-friendly. A problem is that social bots can be bought to like one's content on social media, thereby making content appear to be much more popular than it is. This is a danger to the free decision making process of democracy.
