And so if we can make that easier by adding to the case digital forensics to say, look, there's a text thread between the perpetrator and the child where he's clearly asking for sex, he's clearly inciting sexual abuse, or he asked for this nude, and then he extorted her once he had that.

If the phone will tell that story, that's pretty powerful and a step forward in child protection in my mind.

Wow.

So yeah, that...

That kind of epiphany for me of if we are to be serious about making the largest impact we can to fight trafficking, we have to have advanced capabilities and support law enforcement in their efforts to fight this crime.

Yeah, already they're doing that.

You know, I think maybe seven years ago, five years ago, we saw this huge tactic by criminals to leverage crypto.

Yeah.

You know, right?

I mean, the anonymity crypto offers is well suited for criminal activity, unfortunately.

Yeah.

And AI is just that next big move for criminals to adopt.

Criminals are really quick to adopt new technology into their illicit business.

So yes.

Well, and here in the United States, one of the things that came out a few years ago, it's still an issue, is it's not really human trafficking related, but they, pedophiles, sorry, they're generating child sexual abuse material that's AI built.

And so a lot of legislators are like, well, how do we prosecute this?

There's no really a victim, but it's indecent, and there's some indecency laws maybe we can use.

And so you have this, I mean, it's kind of the wild, wild west right now.

People are scrambling to figure out what is ethical and moral with AI.

But certainly criminals, you know, pretending to be you, taking your identity, putting your head on someone else's body, all these complexities will have implication for years to come.
