The following blog post was contributed by Nadya Bliss (Director, the Global Security Initiative at Arizona State University & CCC Council Member) and is reposted from the Delta 8.7 website. You can view the original post here. Advances in computational science and artificial intelligence offer opportunities to advance Target 8.7 of the Sustainable Development Goals, but the anti-trafficking community must first establish some core building blocks that can serve as the foundation upon which new technologies can be developed and shared. Simply throwing flashy new tech at the problem is neither strategic nor effective. Key components of this foundation include a shared strategy, a common infrastructure that allows for better and […]
Computing Community Consortium Blog
The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.

Code 8.7: Using Computation Science and AI to End Modern Slavery
March 13th, 2019 / in Announcements, big science, research horizons / by Khari DouglasOn February 19-20, 2019 the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) co-sponsored the Code 8.7: Using Computation Science and AI to End Modern Slavery with the United Nations University Centre for Policy Research, The Alan Turing Institute, Tech Against Trafficking, University of Nottingham Rights Lab, and Arizona State University Global Security Initiative. Code 8.7 brought together computer science researchers and technologists with policy researchers, law enforcement officials, and activists involved in the fight against human trafficking. Code 8.7 was named after Target 8.7 of the Sustainable Development Goals. With Target 8.7, 193 countries agreed to take immediate and effective measures to end forced labor, modern slavery, and human trafficking by 2030, and the worst forms of child […]
