Artificial intelligence (AI) for some time has been playing an increasingly vital role, in the public and private sectors, in analyzing and combating corruption and other financial crimes. Because AI requires some understanding of data science concepts and terms, the course will provide students with a thorough grounding in those key terms and concepts, explain how artificial intelligence can be useful in various contexts (i.e., law enforcement, corporate compliance, and academic research), discuss applications of AI to corruption and related financial crimes, and explore the legal, ethical, and governance challenges of using anti-corruption AI. The course will be taught by Professor Jonathan Rusch, an internationally recognized expert in anti-corruption law, and other experts in AI.
