The bot, based on artificial intelligence, collects online evidence on a confidential platform, categorizes it, and offers the victim representation against the attacker in all matters relating to receiving financial compensation. “We save them a lawyer — and especially save them the encounter with the perpetrator,” says the project’s social entrepreneur, Sigal Gashuri. “We are not the police or a court, and we do not investigate people, but rather provide an answer to those who are mentally unable to go to court or to a supervisor about sexual harassment at work. The suspect also prefers to contact a confidential platform. With his consent, a full digital mediation process will begin; a sophisticated questionnaire in which the needs and desires are ascertained - financial compensation or any other remedy. This is not tennis but squash, everyone plays against the system, and therefore the chances of receiving compensation are great. The system learns to locate the points of agreement." Of course, in the criminal aspect, it is mandatory to contact the police, to prevent harm to others, but in all matters related to torts, the platform offers an alternative. The developers of the application are Rinat Keinan, an artificial intelligence expert, and Nitzan Tal, who specializes in information security. And how do you prevent the application from becoming a tool for extortion and a home for false complaints aimed at financial gain? Gashuri says that they are in the midst of developing technology for a version reliability index.
"If the police want to use the technology, we will give them the bot. The system records for the citizens, so that they have a tool available to them. Data will come from many places, and this way we can produce research patterns — such as examining the gap between the harm and the time it takes a person to tell about it. Sexual harm cannot be subject to a normal statute of limitations. Sometimes it is pushed back 30 years. Maybe they will finally do what the governor of New York State did here,
