RESEARCH

In collaboration with the TellFinder Alliance, we have been exploring novel active learning approaches for uncovering trafficking risk in commercial sex supply chains using data from the deep web.  Mapping deceptive recruitment to sex-sales allows for new views into risky geographical corridors that can be used to inform interventions, coordination strategies, and investigations.

We investigate the spillover effects from ethical certification programs (e.g. Fair Trade) into companies' non-certified supply chains. We connect 6 different structured and unstructured datasets for a unique view of coffee supply chains. We find that companies certifying as low as 3% of their portfolios experience positive spillovers in the rest of their supply chain.

In collaboration with PricewaterhouseCoopers, we are designing a set of tools, games, and training content on key concepts related to responsible AI. We are working towards evaluating how these different tools impact ethical decision making through behavioral experiments with practitioners. Our goal is to find effective, practical methods for instilling ethical concepts in the daily processes of an organization.
