The Briefing Topic

Snapchat has introduced an AI chatbot that users can ask any question and receive an answer in extreme detail. Users can customise the chatbot’s name, design a Bitmoji avatar for it and it sits alongside conversations with real friends.

Snapchat’s chatbot may feel less transactional but AI ethics expert Julian Koplin says the new technology can be misleading.



Headlines:
Search for bodies resumes at NZ hostel
Biden could visit Australia next week
30 to 34-year-olds under worst cost of living pressure
Support for Voice slips
Gillard says she 'got it wrong' on same-sex marriage
