First keynote at YRRSDS 23 by Verena Rieser! 👏👏 SIGdial

David Traum's keynote was full of interesting questions for reflection: Are we using the right tools for the job? Are we afraid of complexity? Most importantly, are we building systems that people want to chat with? Another amazing keynote👏👏👏 YRRSDS SIGdial

AI presents both challenges and opportunities. Malihe Alikhani showed us the amazing opportunities to use these systems for good at the YRRSDS keynote. Couldn't have asked for a better final keynote and wrap up in a positive note 👏👏SIGdial
