This project is using AI to analyse public data of receipts from elected government officials, detect anomalies and tweet about them. It has already led to a deputy to have to return funds to the government.

There is very little material in English about this project, I finally spent some time to translate and create an English and French wikipedia page. I am not otherwise involved with this project (yet!) but think it deserve more visibility, and that we should leverage it and similar project in other countries.

this is awesome! having lived in Brazil I can testify that the country really need this (if such testimony is necessary). However I do think other countries would benefit too!

I've long wished for AI governance, and this is a great step in the direction I imagine that working. I for one welcome our new robot overlords ;)

How is this project perceived by the government officials?

I am sure (or at least hope) that some of them are very much in favour, but are there others calling into question the accuracy / legitimacy of these type of analyses?

This is such a cool project that deserves some attention.

As a side note: one of the project members was interviewed on The Changelog[0]. The interview presents many topics related to the project, e.g. technology, community, challenges.

>I've long wished for AI governance

Someone has to write the algorithms, and something tells me it's not going to be the 99%.
