Lab Co-PIs Genevieve LeBaron and Jessie Brunner Attend Tech Against Trafficking Summit at Microsoft Headquarters
Lab Co-PIs Genevieve LeBaron and Jessie Brunner recently returned from the fourth Tech Against Trafficking (TAT) Summit, which gathered key business leaders, anti-trafficking practitioners, policymakers, researchers, technologists, and individuals with lived experience.
The Summit was hosted by BSR and Microsoft at their Redmond, WA headquarters. TAT aims to advance the use of technology to prevent, disrupt, and reduce human trafficking and to address the misuse of technology to facilitate the crime. This year’s summit set out to develop a set of voluntary principles to counter online trafficking and drive collective action, contribute to building a consolidated library of forced labor proxy data points and validating key elements for a forced labor data standard, and addressing data analysis and reporting challenges through the use of artificial intelligence.
