Researchers have centered their research on disclosure mechanisms, and the modulating variables that affect their performance, especially in connection to human-tohuman interaction. Researchers have started to investigate how and whether people will disclose information to chatbots which mimic human conversations using textual interfaces. The results of these studies have been mixed, but overall people seem to be willing to provide the same kinds of data to chatbots as they would to a person (Ho and others., 2019).
The perceived vulnerability of information is one factor that appears to have a significant impact on this. In a variety of studies, different types of data were classified based on perceived the sensitivity. Secure identifiers, such as passwords and financial account number were deemed to be the most sensitive. Personal “preferences” like religious or political affiliations as well as medical history were also viewed as sensitive by the participants in these studies.
When filing for patents it is essential to keep in mind that any information disclosure statements that meet the format requirements in 37 CFR 1.98 and are filed within three months of the date of filing will be reviewed by the examiner. This is regardless of any other events in the examination up to that point including any non-compliances with the rules governing information disclosure.
