Spanish Chatbot Hunts For Pedophiles

Posted by timothy on from the how-do-you-feel-about-justin-bieber dept.

cylonlover writes "For a number of years now, police forces around the world have enlisted officers to pose as kids in online chat rooms, in an attempt to draw out pedophiles and track them down. Researchers at Spain's University of Deusto are now hoping to free those cops up for other duties, and to catch more offenders, via a chatbot that they've created. Its name is Negobot, and it plays the part of a 14 year-old girl." (Read the original source, in Spanish).

    What happens if two chatbots start chatting each other up? Do they both get arrested?

    Only if they send each other photos of their source code.

    Not to mention the fact that a 14 year old girl would have absolutely no chance of passing the Turing test.
