• Resumen

  • Online volunteers are helping to track slavery from space. A new crowdsourcing project aims to identify brick-making kilns in South Asia--frequently the site of forced labor--in satellite images. This data will then be used to train machine learning algorithms to automatically recognize brick kilns in satellite imagery. If computers can pinpoint the location of such possible slavery sites, then the coordinates could be passed to local charities to investigate, says Kevin Bales, the project leader, at the University of Nottingham, UK
