Does cutting-edge technology help or hinder criminal corruption investigations? On the one hand, the blockchain underlying cryptocurrencies lets investigators follow the money trail easily. Artificial intelligence can be used to analyse large amounts of evidence. It can also predict and detect corruption and money laundering. On the other hand, anonymity in using some cryptocurrencies are said to hinder the identification of the real owners of assets. Cryptography can hamper the seizure and confiscation of cryptocurrencies and encryption can stymie authorities’ efforts to intercept communications.

This session will examine new technologies’ impact on detecting and investigating corruption, and explore solutions for overcoming challenges.
