AI researches harassment law

A brand-new tool called Botler AI is helping people understand their legal rights through artificial intelligence. Botler AI is the brainchild of Montreal-based founders Amir Moravej and Ritika Dutt. It all began when Amir was dealing with an immigration dispute and started to read cases online. Then the #metoo movement started and the focus of the project shifted to help victims of sexual misconduct. Botler AI uses artificial intelligence, which is intelligence demonstrated by a machine. Algorithms scan through hundreds of thousands of U.S. and Canadian criminal court documents related to sexual crimes. After a series of questions, Botler AI determines if there may be cause for legal action and it generates an incident report, which users can then hand over to a lawyer or to authorities.
