AI Predicts Corruption – Info AI

Researchers from the University of Valladolid (Spain) have created a computer model based on neural networks that calculates the probability in Spanish provinces of corruption, as well as the conditions that favour it. This alert system confirms that the probabilities increase when the same party stays in government for more years.

The study, published in Social Indicators Research, does not mention the provinces most prone to corruption so as not to generate controversy, explains one of the authors, Ivan Pastor, who says, “A greater propensity or high probability does not imply corruption will actually happen.”
