DESCRIPTION:Conversational interfaces are increasingly commonplace and dia
 logue agents are used to perform a variety of functions previously perform
 ed by humans. Recent work in dialogue systems has begun to explore how hum
 an-like character traits and personas can be embedded within dialogue agen
 ts in order to support more human-like and naturalistic human-machine inte
 ractions. In this talk I will explore some of the ethical and societal imp
 lications that arise when developing increasingly human-like agents. In pa
 rticular\, I will consider some key challenges for the responsible design 
 of conversational systems\, such as handling abusive interactions and priv
 acy-protecting measures.
