Quantexa Uses Context-Aware Artificial Intelligence to Uncover Human Trafficking Networks

Quantexa has developed revolutionary Entity Resolution and Network Analytics technology that enable deeper insights into complex financial and real-world criminal problems like human trafficking. Quantexa is able to use their technology to model and achieve a true understanding of groups and people and their relationship and their behaviors so that they can achieve genuine business outcomes, far superior to those achieved using traditional AI and machine learning.

Nextbigfuture interviewed Alexon Bell, head of Compliance Products at Quantexa. Alexon is a hands-on AML (Anti-Money Laundering) practitioner with over 16 years’ experience helping financial institutions with AML strategies, architectures and implementations. He has a wealth of experience in helping customers deploy and crucially optimise AML, KYC (Know Your Customer) and sanctions screening solutions, having held leadership roles at Actimize (Fortent), SAS as EMEA/AP head of compliance solutions and Oracle. As a thought leader, he works with banks to help them tackle the latest emerging threats, ensure coverage and prepare for new regulation in the fight against organised crime and terrorism.

Anti-human trafficking will be especially relevant as the Superbowl will be played next week. Big sporting events like the Superbowl, World Cup and the Olympics, regularly trigger an influx of sex-trade workers, with many being victims of human trafficking.

Arrests of pimps running underage sex rings are reported at the NFL Superbowl almost every year. Girls are being trafficked from as far away as Hawaii to hook up with clients via the Internet, hotels and strip clubs.

Some 1.5 million people in the United States are victims of trafficking, mostly for sexual exploitation. The majority are children, according to a U.S. Senate report published last year.

The Quantexa systems have advantages over other systems in that they can identify different companies and individuals in a more precise way. They can represent the correct relationships which are valid so that they do not generate false warnings. They can handle networks with over 15 billion records.

They are already helping many global organizations to solve financial crimes and indentify previously unknown criminal networks.
