Using AI, big data, and open data for anti-corruption

Corruption is a serious global problem, transcending borders, political affiliations and systems of government. As more governments digitise their operations, there is an increased opportunity to develop practical anti-corruption tools based on big data, open data, and artificial intelligence (AI). In this report originally published in 2019, we consider the viability of such tools, in the hope that their implementation would eventually lead to fewer public funds lost to the private accounts of corrupt officials and politicians.
