The Alberta Provincial Rural Crime Watch Association has launched an innovative AI-powered web chat that is more than just a tool. Jamie is specifically designed to help children and teenagers aged 11-17 navigate complex safety issues including:

Exploitation

Online safety

Drugs and substances

Criminal mischief

Bullying

Mental health

“Having to talk to an adult may also hold kids back from getting the help they need. They may feel like they will be judged or get in trouble for even asking. Sometimes it’s easier to speak with a peer. We learned from surveying guardians and educators that children prefer to learn about issues by discussing these issues with their friends. That’s why we designed Jamie to be a character of a similar age to them. The bot responds in a way that a teen might speak, while being patient and understanding.”
