Zusammenfassung

Chatbots sind softwarebasierte Systeme, die mittels natürlicher Sprache mit Menschen interagieren. Viele Unternehmen setzen zunehmend auf Chatbots, um Kunden bei der Suche nach Informationen über Produkte oder Dienstleistungen und bei der Durchführung einfacher Prozesse zu unterstützen. Nichtsdestotrotz ist die Akzeptanz von Chatbots bei vielen Nutzern derzeit noch gering. Ein Grund dafür ist, dass sich die Interaktion mit Chatbots nur selten natürlich und menschlich anfühlt. Es wächst deshalb die Erkenntnis, dass neben einer guten technischen Plattform auch weitere Faktoren bei der Gestaltung von Chatbots beachtet werden sollten. Die soziotechnische Gestaltung von Chatbots fokussiert sich daher auf die sozialen Signale eines Chatbots. Diese sozialen Signale (z. B. Lächeln, Sprachstil oder Antwortgeschwindigkeit) spielen nicht nur in der zwischenmenschlichen Kommunikation, sondern auch in der Interaktion mit Chatbots eine grosse Rolle. Dieser Artikel erläutert die Grundlagen der soziotechnischen Gestaltung von Chatbots, verdeutlicht die Wirkung sozialer Signale anhand eines Forschungsbeispiels und diskutiert kritisch die Vermenschlichung von Chatbots.
