Dialogue systems are becoming central tools in human computer interface systems, moreover in educational environments with social robots. The conventional approaches based on traditional artificial intelligence techniques, have been superseded by machine learning approaches and, more recently, deep learning. In this paper we give a view of the current state of dialogue systems, describing the areas of application, as well as the current technical approaches and challenges. We propose two emerging domains of application of dialog systems that may be highly influential in the near future: storytelling and therapeutic systems.
