Since 2012, a sophisticated artificial intelligence has dug through big data to find signs of corruption in the Chinese government -- but local officials in many areas are now shutting it down, according to the South China Morning Post. One researcher involved in the program, which is portentously called "Zero Trust," told the Hong Kong newspaper that local officials might be shutting the program down because they don't "feel quite comfortable with the new technology." But the SCMP has another explanation: the AI works too well. It might notice a suspicious transfer of money, for instance, or a new car or property registered to the name of a government official's family or friends.
