What about the AI-based tools used by the platforms? The answer is in the next episode, stay tuned :)
In this episode, we welcomed Salomé Lannier, Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Luxembourg, whose work takes part at the intersection of criminal law, digital regulation, and human exploitation.
Drawing on her research and the PROTEX project (https://lnkd.in/d-mW4ujb), this conversation explores one of the most complex challenges in today’s digital landscape: how AI systems are used to detect human trafficking and the legal and ethical risks they raise.
From the absence of a clear legal definition of “exploitation” to the growing use of algorithmic tools by law enforcement and platforms, the episode highlights a critical tension: tools designed to protect can also misidentify, discriminate, or even harm the very individuals they aim to support.
We discuss the use of AI in detecting online sexual exploitation, the risks of biased or opaque data labelling. The second part of our discussion with Salomé, in which we discuss on the blurred abilities of platforms and law enforcement and limits of existing legal frameworks, will follow in next episode, stay tuned.
