🇬🇧 Special Episode #5 Corruption and AI with Nils Köbis
Description
Nils Köbis is a researcher based in Germany and works as a professor for the human understanding for algorithms and machines (1:16 ). Nils tells us how he came to
work on the relationship between corruption and artificial intelligence (AI) (2:46 ). He then explains the origin of AI and what AI means (5:29 ). Nils shares examples where AI can be leveraged to tackle corruption (9:45 ). The type of
training data provided to AI is important (15:04 ). For example, if the data is biased, the biases will be reproduced. In some cases, AI can be manipulated for corruption (18:37 ).
