Inspiration

For an issue that so often goes ignored, our goal is to leverage the technology of today to bring an end to trafficking.

What it does

Introducing SecureAI, a new AI tool that will change the way we address and seek to combat one of the biggest human rights issues in the world — human and sex trafficking. Our website uses modern computing tools to determine whether various hotels and accommodations have been flagged as high risk for human trafficking. With our website, you'll be able to verify the safety of your surroundings efficiently for the ease of mind and send information to law enforcement if necessary. For victims with few resources, SecureAI provides investigators leads to where individuals have or were being get them help sooner through personalized reports based off image input and text descriptions when pictures are unavailable.

How we built it

Figma mockup, Javascript and React for the front-end, python and flask for the back-end. Tensorflow and pytorch were used for the machine learning functions.

Challenges we ran into

  • Dependencies in the initial attempt at a backend with streamlit.
  • Being slowed down by load times due to a large dataset.
  • Finding quick communication between frontend and backend.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

What we learned

What's next for secureAI

We are excited for SecureAI's future! First, we hope to fully finish the front-end and back-end of the tool. Our goal is to maximize all we can do with our image recognition and text models in a way that is accessible to law enforcement and an everyday user. Specifically, we would like to connect with third party apps like AirBnB and Bookings.com to verify the security of the places people choose to stay, limiting the number of dangerous situations.
