Open data and AI help prosecutors trace trafficking networks

Problem

Clues about human trafficking and child exploitation are spread across court filings, public databases and social media. Much of it is written in coded language, and investigators cannot read it all.

AI solution

RecomendeMe uses AI to decode trafficking-related terms and build a map of links between people, places and events. Every link is tied to a public source, so investigators can check it.

Impact

Since October 2025, the tool has supported an investigation with Brazil’s Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office that mapped connections across eight cities. [NEED: what can be shared about results, and how the team protects victims and avoids false accusations.]
