Leveraging Artificial Intelligence to Combat Human Trafficking: A Multifaceted Approach

Abstract

Human trafficking, a heinous crime exploiting individuals for forced labor, sexual servitude, or organ harvesting, plagues millions globally. Eradicating this global scourge demands a multifaceted approach. Artificial Intelligence (AI) emerges as a powerful weapon in this fight. This paper explores how AI can be leveraged to identify victims, disrupt trafficking networks, and aid in investigations. We delve into applications of AI in data analysis, victim identification, financial tracking, communication support, and explore its potential for proactive intervention. The paper acknowledges the ethical considerations surrounding AI use and emphasizes the need for human oversight and collaboration.
