Using AI to Combat Fraud used in Human Trafficking

Janet BastimanChief Data Scientist at Napier AI

For the third episode of season two, I’m joined in the newly refurbished studio by Dr Janet Bastiman to discuss how she and Napier AI use AI to combat the financial fraud used in human trafficking rings. This is both a vitally important and fascinating conversation that shows how human trafficking isn’t something that is done in secret, but now, in the digital world, it’s all around us.

And probably something you’ve seen while scrolling through social media.

We get into detail about how these ‘bad actors’ are using financial fraud (including money laundering) to prey on vulnerable people, what these systems look like, how AI is being used to combat this type of fraud, also how these ‘bad actors’ are using new AI tech like deepfakes to create new and even more dangerous forms of scamming. We also cover the future, the potential of quantum technologies in this space, and a load of other subjects you’ll have to listen to in the episode to discover.
