Aug 24, 2022

The project, which is the creation of digital art collective Computer Lars, says it will run its first public event in September.

The WHO have developed a public access tool (EARS - Early AI-supported Response with Social Listening) which helps health decision-makers to view a real-time analysis of narratives happening in public online forums in multiple countries and languages.
