Drug Smuggling's Biggest Vulnerability Just Got Exposed
In this episode, I sit down with Omri Raiter, CEO of Rakia AI, to talk about how modern cartels blend into the same digital noise the rest of us create every day — encrypted apps, burner phones, ship traffic, satellite clutter.
Rakia AI isn’t reading private messages or spying on citizens. Instead, their technology fuses open-source and legally obtained data — ship movements, satellite imagery, mobility patterns — to spot the anomalies that give traffickers away. And it’s already working. Their tools have helped intercept over 500 tons of narcotics and expose routes masked by encrypted chatter and ghost ships.
We also talk about the hard questions:
Can this kind of AI threaten personal privacy?
Are governments moving fast enough to keep up?
And what happens when criminals adapt faster than bureaucracy?
This is the digital front line of the drug war — and it’s already here.
