Artificial Intelligence Eliciting Social Change in Thailand OpenGovAsia

A group of tech experts are developing a new Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbot to help victims of domestic violence more easily access the justice system and counselling programmes as the problem balloons in Thailand. Studies have shows that people live in fear of judgement and may be more embarrassed to relay the whole truth about the sensitive and often, humiliating, experience. Some fear the pity that falls upon them when they relay their experiences and others do not understand why the person that they are relaying their experience to, does not show any pity or any emotion for that matter. This is where the AI machines are brought into the picture when it comes to domestic violence. People understand that they are speaking to just a machine.
