Abstract

The article further develops and formalizes a theory of friendly dialogue in an AI System of Dr. Watson type, as proposed in our previous publication[4],[19]. The main principle of this type of AI is to guide the user toward a solution in a friendly manner, using questions based on the analysis of user input and data collected in the system.
