Preventing, detecting, and disrupting human trafficking with information systems
Human trafficking is one of the most terrible crimes imaginable. And, yet, the magnitude of it is so overwhelming that it can feel nearly impossible to tackle. But, what if there was a way to flip this problem on its head? Could we learn from technologists who use feedback loops to build information systems and apply this same way of thinking to a new challenge?
In this KYC Decoded episode, we are honored to give the mic to Researcher and Assistant Professor of Information Systems at University of North Texas, Laurie Giddens. Partnering with Jodie Brinkerhoff, VP of Innovation at the third busiest airport in the world, the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, Laurie was able to gather valuable, firsthand data and insights to better understand the existing challenges when combating human trafficking. Her enlightening conversation with host, Alex Pillow, explores probing questions like: how do data and technology change the possibilities for how we tackle human trafficking; within the prevention, detection, and disruption paradigm, where should innovation focus first; what data points should we look at when building new technologies and what kinds of unstructured data should be considered; what stakeholders should be included to collect data and work through possible solutions; similarities between the data challenges of AML and transaction monitoring with this part of the risk ecosystem, and how they could learn from each other; and how could feedback loops help fight human trafficking more effectively?
