Project AeroAI Guardian Combats Human Trafficking - Part Two

How does the company partner with businesses to stop human trafficking?

AeroAI Global Solutions partners with the private sector, NGOs, and government agencies to enhance trafficking detection and prevention through the AeroAI Guardian project. These cross-sector collaborations aim to build a scalable enforcement framework by integrating advanced technologies, intelligence sharing, and legal pathways.

Private sector partners could include satellite providers, AI firms, cloud and data infrastructure platforms, analytics companies, risk intelligence firms, and corporations in finance, logistics, and transportation.

Key initiatives—

• Ongoing discussions with satellite companies to secure access to high-resolution imagery, SAR data, and radiofrequency intelligence through existing satellite operations.
• Partnering with AI firms to leverage existing capabilities, such as pattern recognition, satellite image enhancement, and anomaly detection to identify trafficking indicators in high-risk zones.
• Working with cloud infrastructure and data integration companies to process and transform raw satellite and sensor data into actionable, easy-to-interpret intelligence products for investigative and operational use.
• Engaging with investigative analytics and risk intelligence firms that provide access to criminal databases, sanctions lists, and other law enforcement relevant data to support trafficking-related investigations and enhance cross-referencing capabilities across data sources.
• Exploring partnerships with corporations in finance, logistics, and transportation to integrate or enhance AI-based trafficking detection systems in their existing operations and facilitate secure information sharing in support of ongoing investigations. 

Results to date—

• Engaging with satellite companies to develop a framework for a government-funded pilot program demonstrating how satellite, AI, and sensor-based technologies can be used to monitor human trafficking hotspots.
• Creating a case study on illegal fishing vessels to demonstrate how certain trafficking hotspots involve overlapping illicit activities, including human trafficking. In some cases, victims are exploited aboard the vessels; in others, they are transported covertly. The case study shows how satellite and AI technologies can be adapted to detect and monitor these complex maritime threats.
• Advocating for the legal admissibility of satellite and AI-derived intelligence as supporting evidence in court proceedings, alongside traditional investigative methods strengthens enforcement.
