#HumanTrafficking is a global challenge that transcends borders, and the advent of #AI technologies has the potential to amplify both its reach and complexity, as Marianne refers to in this post.

This year, we’ve carefully looked at the misuse of artificial intelligence (AI) by traffickers, which has not been covered before”, says Marianne Angvik. She’s on her first NORCAP assignment, working as the Executive Programme Officer at the OSCE Combating Trafficking in Human Beings (CTHB). Recently, she and her colleagues presented their yearly report to the OSCE Permanent Council, listing their achievements and presenting current trends. One of the most recent developments concerns the use of artificial intelligence in trafficking. “𝐀𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐦 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥-𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠”, Marianne says. Human trafficking is an issue that no country can solve on its own, it requires a collaborative effort and an international approach. The Office of the Special Representative and Co-ordinator for Combatting Trafficking in Human Beings’ mandate gives Marianne and her colleagues the opportunity to talk to authorities and help them shape policies to prevent and combat this crime. Additionally, they facilitate dialogue among various participating states and civil society and organise their flagship activity – simulations.
