How artificial intelligence is helping government agencies track down criminals

For the last 18 months, Jeff Jonas has been helping banks and government agencies track down criminals. As he puts it, he specialises in "hunting clever bad people". He may sound like a super sleuth, but he is in fact a computer programmer by training. Mr Jonas' startup Senzing has created software that helps global organisations comb through data to catch criminals faster than humans could ever manage. The company has been in "stealth mode" since it spun out of IBM in 2016, but it is has just publicly announced itself as open for business.
