Artificial Intelligence Against Corruption

Corruption grows when accountability is low -- it is hard to imagine a politician abusing their power for personal gain if they knew for certain that they would get caught and punished. This is why improving accountability is a wining strategy for fighting corruption, and Artificial Intelligence technology can help us do that. Whether we realize it or not, AI technologies that spot wrongdoing are already all around us. Credit card companies, for example, have been using it for years -- if your card is used in strange countries, to buy strange products, in a price range that is strange to your normal behavior, the company's AI models are likely to flag it as suspicious. And it does so incredibly fast for millions and millions of transactions everyday.
