(AFP) - Visitors to the Amsterdam museum lodged in the house where Anne Frank wrote her famous diary as she hid from Nazi occupiers can now learn about her history thanks to a unique collaboration with Facebook. Attending the launch, Prince Constantijn, the brother of the current Dutch king, said, "The generations that lived through the horrors are slowly disappearing, so it is important to find new ways to tell a story that should never be forgotten."
The chat-bot program is an information technology software that allows users to talk directly with the museum via Facebook messenger. Based on artificial intelligence, the program is designed to improve over time as it learns from the questions users pose. So far it is limited, and only offers a few options: Do you want to know the opening times of the museum, or know more about Anne Frank? Do you want to learn about her diary, or the annex in the Amsterdam canal house where Anne hid with her family? Or are you looking for more information about the family's capture and fate?
