Many thanks, Amir IEEE Transactions on Artificial Intelligence (AI): Special Issue on =1B$B!H= =1B(BConversational AI=1B$B!I=1B(B Conversational AI is an emerging interdisciplinary research and innovation = field, involving diverse topics ranging from machine learning, speech, and = natural language processing, understanding and generation, to ethics, socio= logy, and psychology. It has gained increasing popularity in recent years t= hrough effective integration in commercial personal assistants such as Appl= e Siri, Amazon Alexa, Google Personal Assistant, ChatGPT, and many others. State of the art in conversational AI is being advanced through a number of= global initiatives, including the Amazon Alexa prize competition and NeurI= PS Conversational Intelligence Challenge live competition. These are contin= uing to identify and address various open challenges and questions includin= g, in particular, the growing need for large multi-modal language models to= deliver more natural, socially responsible and multilingual conversational= agents, user interfaces and human-machine dialogue systems. This timely special issue aims to bring together interdisciplinary communit= ies to advance state-of-the-art in conversational AI technologies and appli= cations. It will also serve to promote cross-fertilisation of ideas and ins= ights and bridge the gap between academic research and commercial innovatio= n in the area.
