Using the Crowd and AI to Stamp Out Corruption - DZone AI

You might be surprised to learn that a staggering $1 trillion is lost to bribery and corruption each year. The problem is such that a couple of crowdsourcing projects have emerged to try to stamp out the problem. One of the pioneers emerged in India. The project, called I Paid a Bribe, asks citizens to share instances where they have been forced to bribe officials to achieve outcomes that should not require such greasing of the wheels. The site allows you to report your experience in full detail, including where it happened, the service you were seeking, how much you paid, and the person who bribed you.
