PROBLEM: AI-generated summaries now shape what millions of people believe about trafficking — and they can be right or wrong without showing their work. The Google AI overview on "cyber slavery" states over 300,000 people trafficked and $64 billion in illicit annual profits; both figures check out against the UN Human Rights Office's February 2026 report. But the next overview may not, and there is no standard record that grades an AI summary's trafficking figures against the primary sources before the figures are repeated.
SOLUTION: A cyber-slavery awareness claim verification record: every AI-generated trafficking claim logged with the figure, the primary source it was checked against, and the grade — so a correct figure is confirmed and a wrong one is caught before it spreads.
EVIDENCE BASIS: DOCUMENTED — OHCHR Feb 20, 2026: at least 300,000 people in scam operations across Southeast Asia; global annual revenues around $64 billion USD. The Google AI overview's figures match the OHCHR report. Sources: OHCHR Feb 2026 report; Google AI overview on "Cyber Slavery" (Nov 2026 screenshots).
