We Asked AI How Humanity Could Use AI to Better Fight Governmental Corruption

This is what it said

Empowering people to use AI to hold governments accountable outside the reach of those governments requires a focus on decentralization, transparency, privacy, and security (sound familiar?). Here's a roadmap for creating such a system:

1. Decentralized Platforms for Transparency

• Blockchain-Based AI Systems: Create decentralized platforms leveraging blockchain technology to store and process public data related to government spending, conflicts of interest, campaign donations, etc. Blockchain ensures immutability, transparency, and traceability, making it harder for corrupt entities to manipulate data.

• Open-Source AI: Develop open-source AI tools that can be used by the public. Open-source allows anyone to contribute and audit the algorithms, ensuring that no one entity can manipulate them. AI models could track public spending, analyze government contracts, and expose anomalies.

2. AI for Tracking Public Funds and Government Spending

• Spending and Procurement Monitoring: Build AI models that can automatically analyze government procurement data, track how funds are allocated, and flag suspicious transactions. The system could cross-reference spending data with vendors, lobbyists, and campaign contributions.

• Real-Time Analytics: Use AI to create real-time dashboards that present this data in an accessible way. The public could track budget allocations, see where waste or corruption is happening, and call attention to areas needing reform.

3. AI-Driven Analysis of Conflicts of Interest

• Conflict Detection: AI systems can analyze patterns in government officials' financial disclosures and corporate ties to detect conflicts of interest or illegal self-dealing. By linking data from various sources (e.g., tax records, business registrations, campaign finance data), AI could automatically highlight potential conflicts.

• Public Access to AI Tools: Provide these AI tools in the form of user-friendly dashboards that anyone can access. Independent journalists, watchdog groups, and the public at large could leverage these tools to spot corruption.

4. Whistleblower Protection and Safe Reporting

• Encrypted Reporting Channels: Create secure, anonymous, and decentralized whistleblower platforms powered by AI to collect and analyze reports of corruption or misconduct. These platforms would need strong encryption and anonymization features to protect whistleblowers from retaliation.

5. AI in Tracking Campaign Finances and Political Influence

• Campaign Finance Transparency: Develop AI systems to automatically scan and analyze campaign finance records. AI can flag suspicious donations, dark money, or links between campaign contributors and government decisions. This data could be presented on easily accessible platforms.

• Mapping Political Influence: Use AI to track and visualize connections between donors, lobbyists, and government officials. The system could use network analysis to detect potential collusion or undue influence.

6. Wall Street and Corporate Collusion Mapping

• Corporate Influence on Legislation: AI could track patterns of lobbying activities, campaign donations, and political contributions from corporations to detect where corporate interests are influencing public policy. This could include tracking the revolving door between government and corporate sectors.

• Market Manipulation Detection: AI could analyze trading patterns and financial data to identify signs of market manipulation or insider trading. It could cross-reference stock trades with government actions, campaign donations, or political decisions to spot patterns indicative of corruption.

• Boards of Directors: Show who controls the boards of directors and how they are interconnected.

• The Revolving Doors: Show the public when individuals work for both the state and private sectors and the connections made between the two.

7. Empowering the Public through Education and Advocacy

• AI Literacy: Ensure the public has access to resources and tools to understand AI and how to use it for accountability. This includes educational materials on how to track spending, interpret financial data, and use AI systems to detect corruption.

• Decentralized Data Collection: Enable individuals and local communities to contribute data to the system, ensuring that the AI models are diverse, broad, and not influenced by centralized powers.

8. Consumer Mapping

• Wise Consumerism: Create maps that show what products are owned by what companies.

By combining decentralized AI, secure platforms, and transparent data analytics, we can create an environment where corruption is more difficult to hide, and where the public has the tools to hold governments and corporations accountable without needing to rely on institutional power structures.

Whatever we do with AI we should control it as independent people outside of government, because if it is controlled by government then it too shall become corrupted.

For over 3 billion years on this planet there were only single-celled organisms. Then one day they somehow learned to work together and make complex multi-celled creatures . Right now we are like those single-celled organisms. Our next evolution is finding how to work together, better… (like we wrote about here).
