It may look simple , but SomeBuddy is exactly the sort of AI tool the world shouldn ’ t need , but does . On the surface , it ’ s a chatbot . But it offers legal assessment , psychological first aid , social media tips and an action plan for victims of online harassment and cyberbullying . More than half the people submitting a report to the app have been identified as the victims of crime . Suvi Uski , a social media researcher , founded and runs the company . She was placed third in the 2020 Women in AI Awards ( see also Deva Senevirathne and Raluca Crisan in this list ). SomeBuddy is currently available in Uski ’ s native Finland and Sweden , we hope to see this important tool rolled out globally to ensure the safety and confidence of a new generation of AI talent .
