Generative bots such as ChatGPT have taken the world by storm, showing companies just how effective the right algorithms can be at responding to, supporting, and communicating with end-users.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:256}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">At the same time, improvements in natural language processing and understanding technologies are leading to the creation of ever-more human bots. Today\u2019s tools can hold conversations with us, express personality, and even respond creatively to prompts, using machine learning. Unfortunately, just like human beings, bots aren\u2019t without flaws.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:256}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">One of the most common issues companies face when producing their own bots is how to avoid the ethical problem of bias. While bots may not be subject to unconscious bias in the same way as us humans, they can still portray biased behavior based on the data they\u2019re given. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:256}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Failure to pinpoint and remove bias from a bot not only damages the end-user experience but can also lead to inaccuracies in data and harm brand reputations. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:256}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">So, what can businesses do about conversational AI bias?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:256}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">What Is Conversational AI Bias?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:120,&quot;335559740&quot;:256}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For the time being, chatbots and virtual assistants don\u2019t have opinions and emotions of their own.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:256}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This means they can\u2019t really be subject to emotional, unconscious bias. Voice bots don\u2019t deliberately ignore statements made by customers with a strong accent because of racist tendencies. However, they can show bias in a multitude of different ways because of their training. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:256}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Just like people have unconscious biases which affect how they behave and communicate with others, conversational bots can have biases that damage the quality of their interactions. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:256}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In fact, there are some relatively shocking examples of this throughout the world. Several years ago, Microsoft even made headlines with a Twitter chatbot (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2016\/mar\/24\/tay-microsofts-ai-chatbot-gets-a-crash-course-in-racism-from-twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Tay<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">) that unintentionally collected too much data from hate speech and seemed to become a racist, sexist entity overnight.\u00a0 <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:256}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The reason bots develop biases is usually poor training and testing. Bots can only learn and respond to comments based on the information they\u2019re given. If the data sets of a bot are limited or unintentionally biased, the bot itself will be biased as a result. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:256}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">How to Reduce Conversational AI Bias<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:120,&quot;335559740&quot;:256}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In recent years, major public issues with conversational AI bias have drawn attention to just how significant the problem can be. As a result, companies have become more cautious with the way they create, train, and test bots before rolling them out for public consumption.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:256}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Ultimately, reducing or eliminating conversational AI bias is just a matter of making sure bots are trained and deployed as ethically as possible.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:256}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Step 1: Collect Better Data<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:256}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Data is the lifeblood of any conversational bot. Every word a bot says, or types to a customer is a byproduct of the data it has accessed in the past. Bots don\u2019t just come up with answers to questions on their own, they scan through countless data points to find relevant responses. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:256}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To avoid bias in those responses, companies need to ensure they\u2019re providing their bots with access to the right, holistic data.

The most advanced bots on the market today leverage a combination of natural language processing, and natural language understanding (NLU) tools. Without the right \u201cNLU\u201d strategy, these bots can only collect data, but they can\u2019t really pinpoint what customers mean when they say certain things or what their intent might be. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:256}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Analyzing a bot\u2019s ability to understand information using rich analytics ensures companies can transparently track how their bots are processing data. Evaluating the NLU process can help organizations to immediately pinpoint flaws in the NLU workflow, which may lead to bias. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:256}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Step 3: Test Real-Life Scenarios<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:256}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The best chatbots aren\u2019t created and rolled out overnight. Truly intuitive, human-style bots are trained and tested for months or even years before they\u2019re deployed. Adequate testing and training are crucial to making sure a bot isn\u2019t subject to instances of bias. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:256}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Leveraging the right bot-building and development platforms, companies can test their bots using real-life scenarios to determine how they\u2019ll respond. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:256}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For instance, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cyara.com\/products\/botium\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Botium solution<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> by Cyara allows organizations to test their bots with \u201chuman style\u201d input, complete with typos, errors, shorthand, slang, and even different personality or speaking styles.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:256}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cIt all comes down to the training data.\u201d says <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Christoph B\u00f6rner, Senior Director of Digital at Cyara. <\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cUnsurprisingly, if this data is not objective and verified, Conversational AI can become hazardous to your organization.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:256}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cRemember, chatbots are software, and software needs testing.

Bots with built-in machine learning algorithms can constantly expand their knowledge based on the data they\u2019re taking in from other users. While this can gradually make a bot more efficient and powerful, it can also pave the way for the development of bias in some cases.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:256}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It\u2019s difficult to know for certain what a bot might learn after speaking to thousands or even millions of customers. With this in mind, companies need to ensure they have a strategy in place for constantly monitoring the bot\u2019s performance. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:256}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Tracking customer experience metrics, paying attention to feedback, and ensuring the bot remains ethical are crucial. \u201cTesting should go beyond functionality to examine other aspects of your Conversational AI. Comprehensive testing is essential to uncover social and ethical concerns as well,\u201d says B\u00f6rner.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:256}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Step 5: Keep Humans In the Loop<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:256}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Finally, the rise of bot technology and automation in the digital landscape has led to numerous discussions about how robots may one day be able to replace humans entirely. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:256}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">However, the reality is, most of the time, humans can\u2019t be removed completely from the CX landscape.
