The World Health Organization is using AI to track us all. What are they looking for? The next pandemic, of course. The new WHO tracking software is called Epidemic Intelligence from Open Sources 2.0 (EIOS). They say they need it for “pandemic preparedness.” It will automatically scan and analyze social media to detect possible outbreaks. They’ll also be tracking for “ongoing events, whether they are linked to conflict, climate change, or new and re-emerging pathogens.” In short: it’s not just disease surveillance. It’s narrative surveillance wrapped in the language of “global health security.” Since 2020, the WHO has been warning about “infodemics,” which it describes as an overabundance of information, even accurate information, that makes it difficult for people to “adopt behaviors” the WHO deems necessary to protect public health. So how much do you want to bet they’ll be using this AI surveillance to define and then censor the “infodemic”? The WHO says EIOS is already active in more than 110 countries and is offered “free of charge” to member states. But can they just spy on the populations of WHO member states? They’re not supposed to — but by presenting it as “free of charge,” they get implied consent. And they’ve quietly expanded their ability to do this under the new International Health Regulations (IHR). Since their pandemic treaty collapsed, you can bet they’ll use the power they didn’t get at the negotiating table through the back door of “health security.” The post The WHO Is Using AI to Spy on You appeared first on Redacted.
