Computers that can understand and communicate in human language is a foundational goal of AI and has many applications that are increasingly impacting our everyday lives. This includes systems that recommend news and entertainment, engage in task-oriented or chit-chat conversations (e.g. Siri and Alexa), filter spam from email, fact-check on-line information, and translate from one language to another. This talk will review AI work on these and other natural language applications and discuss relevant ethical issues on their societal impacts.
