The article is devoted to the study of modern approaches to combating corruption, which involve the use of the latest information technologies, such as e-government, e-procurement and developments in the field of artificial intelligence.
The author positively evaluates the results of the mass introduction of information technologies into the state mechanism and economic activity, as it allowed to realize the possibilities of remote work in the conditions of measures to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. The achievements of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, in particular in the field of electronic provision of a number of administrative services and, accordingly, the reduction of corruption risks, also do not cause doubts. At the same time, he emphasizes the need to rationally evaluate not only positive, but also negative aspects of the mass introduction of modern information technologies.
The key problem that leads to the generation of new corruption risks, based on the introduction of modern information technologies into the state mechanism, remains the human factor. Even artificial intelligence technologies are not without this drawback, since the development of software complexes is carried out by people with their own interests. And the need to control programs that have the potential to develop artificial intelligence creates high powers of controlling persons, which already carries new corruption risks.
Attention is focused on the special danger of "bookmarks", so-called "Easter eggs", which are common in the software and game community, and are usually of an entertainment nature. The potential of this kind of "artifacts" carries enormous corruption and security risks in the context of the implementation of e-government, e-procurement and e-judicial projects. On the other hand, the difficulty of predicting the appearance of such threats has been proven on the example of existing gaps in the legislation.
It is proposed to focus attention on the problem of forecasting new corruption risks during the law-making process. The need to develop an effective mechanism for such forecasting is emphasized.
