The term Conversational AI, shortcut for Conversational Artificial Intelligence is an umbrella term, become spread in recent years, used to define all technologies around speech recognition (ASR), synthetic voice generation (TTS), natural language generation (NLG), dialog management (DM), chatbots, voicebots, multimodal assistants in general.

Not fully sure but the term has been probably "coined" in IBM Watson (TBV) and used as synonym of Conversational Computing, another definition used at time in IBM, that doesn't gained success (TBV).
