Technologies that leverage natural language processing (NLP), like iPhone’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa, are widely used to assist humans with simple commands. Emerging applications of NLP extend human-machine interactions into new realms. Recent examples include texting with a chatbot for social support or for cognitive behavioral therapy and conversing with an artificially intelligent holograph instilled with lived experiences. Though these technologies help users overcome barriers, such as resource limitations and stigma, key ethical challenges remain in their development, dissemination, and use. These include privacy, access, representation, transparency, authority, mandatory reporting, and more.
