Bots are everywhere. From simple algorithms and aggregator bots to complex “artificially” intelligent machine-learning systems, they have become inescapable. Some are in chat programs. Some are digital assistants, running searches, placing orders, operating the lights, the music, the locks, or anything else in your interconnected space, as with Google home and the amazon Echo. Others exist in social networks, running the gamut from aggregators like Appropriate Tributes to conversational learning programs like Microsoft’s disastrous Tay and Zo.
