AI overview
Corruption happens when someone in a position of power—like a government official or organization leader—dishonestly uses that power for personal benefit through actions like bribery, embezzlement, or fraud. It matters because it undermines trust in institutions, diverts resources away from their intended purposes, and harms the people who depend on those in positions of authority to act fairly.
