For this week’s Looking Outwards, I looked at the CAre BOt by Caroline Sinders. The project is an interface bot that is concerned with helping victims of Social Media Break Up. It provides counsel and advice for users undergoing social media harassment, but it doesn’t replace therapy. It highlights inequities and failures in harassment policies and procedures for victims by using an empathetic and artistic interface.

Caroline Sinders is a computational designer and artist, and her work focuses on abuse, interaction, society, A.I., and conversation. She operates a studio that uses machine learning to design for public good and solve problems through user research. She received a Masters in Interactive Telecommunications from New York University.
