Overview of Digital Technologies for Anti-corruption Purposes

The article was prepared within the framework of analysis of the results of the events dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Institute of Legislation and Comparative Law under the Government of the Russian Federation. The article gives an overview of the possibilities of using digital technologies to counteract corruption. It is noted that a prerequisite for the successful realization of the benefits of digitalization of public practice is the availability of technological infrastructure, as well as improvement of the legal response associated with the implementation of technological policy. Anti-corruption practices related to Big Data processing (Big Data), distributed registers technology (blockchain), data mining technology (neural networks, artificial intelligence), crowdsourcing technology, and information technology that identifies corruption risks in the financial sector (Forensic Tools) are discussed in more detail. However, the realization of the potential of digitalization in this area implies the need to improve the legal response concerning the implementation of technological policies aimed at suppressing corruptive factors. In this regard, the role of individual judicial regulation as one of the ways to overcome legal gaps and conflicts increases.
