Project AeroAI Guardian Combats Human Trafficking - Part One

“By combining cutting-edge satellite technologies with intelligence-sharing partnerships across government, the private sector, NGOs, law enforcement, and task forces, we are proactively using these technologies to monitor human trafficking hotspots—serving not only as a surveillance tool but also as a deterrent. Our goal is to help standardize this system of using satellite and AI-derived intelligence as legally admissible evidence, strengthening enforcement efforts globally. No single entity can combat human trafficking alone, and we are proud to work alongside a growing community of partners committed to this mission.”

—Tuana Yazici, Founder & CEO, AeroAI Global Solutions

What is AeroAI Global Solutions, Inc. addressing, and what actions are being taken?  

Project AeroAI Guardian, led by the nonprofit AeroAI Global Solutions, is a collaborative initiative leveraging satellite imagery, artificial intelligence (AI), radiofrequency data, and radar technologies, such as synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to combat human trafficking. The project brings together government agencies, NGOs, and private sector partners to deploy cutting-edge technologies for detection, monitoring, and prevention.

The project focuses on—

• Identifying and monitoring trafficking hotspots.
• Partnering with satellite and data companies to leverage cutting-edge technologies, including high-resolution imagery, SAR, radiofrequency data, and AI-driven analytics, to enhance trafficking detection capabilities.
• Partnering with NGOs that provide historical data, field research, regional expertise, and access to localized networks to strengthen the project’s intelligence and resource base.
• Collaborating with the federal government, including the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, to enhance investigations and support the use of satellite and AI-derived intelligence as evidence in courts.
• Developing a government-funded pilot program to demonstrate how satellite and AI-driven intelligence supports law enforcement, with the goal of securing a long-term government contract.
• Utilizing AI for pattern recognition, satellite image enhancement, and anomaly detection to uncover trafficking indicators across high-risk zones.
• Standardizing satellite and AI-driven intelligence as a global enforcement tool, ensuring scalability and international recognition for trafficking detection and prosecution.
