Overview

Created in collaboration with artist and researcher Caroline Sinders and supported by the Web Residencies with Akademie Schloss Solitude, the bot is designed to respond to questions and care for the victim as well as a series of open source best practices, guides, and what to do when facing a variety of online harassment.

The bot isn’t designed to be used in place of a therapist or a security expert but instead the Care B0t is an artistic intervention showing exactly how painful and uncaring the policies and procedures are for victims when reporting harassment and mitigating harassment.

The dialogue of the bot itself is designed to reflect these intense emotional hardships that victims face.
