Robots Prague Meetup #3: Chatbots vs. GDPR & The top bot Alquist presentation

Hello, fellow bot makers,

Let's meet again and have some fun with bots!

For the first meetup of our group in the new year, we will have very special guests and presentations:

Petra Dolejšová will do for us a presentation about chatbots vs. GDPR: How GDPR affected chatbot development? How to use chatbots in a GDPR compliant way? And what about e-Privacy – will this new regulation strike our online tools again?

And Jan Pichl will talk about his lessons learned and experience with development of Alquist (http://alquistai.com/cs/uvod/) – one of the best bots in Alexa: Currently, the majority of interactions between a human and personal assistant is limited to only simple commands. Big players like Amazon are aware of that, and that is why they are supporting students to push the boundaries of conversational AI. What are the possibilities of the current technology? What roadblocks do students need to overcome in the Amazon Alexa Prize competition?
