Published: 12:00am, 4 Feb, 2019 Updated: 5:18am, 5 Feb, 2019 China's AI-based anti-corruption system, Zero Trust, has already helped catch 8,731 bureaucrats engaging in corruption. The system is based on a combination of artificial intelligence and machine learning to identify the most corrupt officials by analyzing their social media activity and other online activities. But some authorities, including the governments in Huaihua city, Mayang county and Li county in Hunan, have already decommissioned the system due to not feeling "quite comfortable", according to a researcher involved in the programme.
