UN body calls for AI systems vs corruptionDuring the 11th Session of the Conference of the States Parties (CoSP11) to the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) last week in Doha, Qatar, participants addressed the role of AI and new technologies to match the realities of today’s complex crime patterns. MANILA, Philippines — Governments around the world were urged to leverage emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) to deter corruption and sever links with financial and organized crime. He recognized, however, that technology can also be a “transformative” force against corruption, especially in aiding investigations. The Philippines signed UNCAC on Dec. 9, 2003 and ratified it on Nov. 8, 2006. As a state party to UNCAC, the Philippines is obliged to criminalize certain forms of private and public corruption; institute or strengthen corruption prevention measures; establish procedures that improve international cooperation; and set up systems for the recovery of forfeited assets.
