Human trafficking is evolving alongside technology. As traffickers use digital platforms and emerging technologies to identify, recruit and exploit people, there is an opportunity to harness technology responsibly to strengthen prevention, response and recovery.
Through our partnership with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), the International Rescue Committee is exploring how AI can support the people working on the front lines of anti-trafficking efforts and help address some of the gaps faced by survivors.
This World Humanitarian Day, we’re bringing technology into a wider conversation about how it can help humanitarian workers. Join us for a webinar exploring the opportunities and challenges of responsible AI in humanitarian action, with insights from the IRC-HPE partnership and a look at how AI is being applied in practice.
