Summary | "Chatbot" comes from "chat" and "robot", and is a software that imitates human conversation and natural language. We can come across chatbots on certain companies' websites (e.g. SNCF, Orange, Fnac, Ikea). We can ask them questions online and they usually try to help us. Chatbots are particularly popular today, but the concept is now new; it started in 1960 a program called Eliza (from MIT). Today's softwares are more complex and powerful. They are increasingly used on social media and messaging apps.

Summary | Social media have a huge problem with trolling, cyberbullying, and sharing of criminal content. It is however extremely difficult for providers to find such content before it is reported or seen by many. Especially in verbal abuse, the line between joking and slander is blurred and human language is too messy to be able to flag down such instances with algorhythms.
