UK planning to team up with "big tech" in next pandemic for "whole-of-society" "live location data" and AI surveillance

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.today/post/50424637

UKHSA will explore options to work with ‘big tech’ to use live location data and artificial intelligence (AI) for a more rapid, large-scale detection and alert system during pandemics. These services will adopt a whole-of-society approach with accessible and multilingual formats, and UKHSA will work to consider and build the equivalent tools needed for digitally excluded communities.
