PARRY is an early example of a computer program designed to simulate a conversation with a human being. Developed in the early 1970s by psychiatrist Kenneth Colby at Stanford University, PARRY was intended to model a patient with paranoid schizophrenia. The program used a set of rules and heuristics to generate responses that simulated a paranoid individual's thought processes.
