The World Health Organization (WHO) announced it is launching S.A.R.A.H, or Smart AI Resource Assistant for Health, a generative AI assistant designed to provide information on major health topics such as healthy lifestyle habits and mental health.

世界卫生组织（WHO）宣布将推出S.A.R.A.H，即智能人工智能健康资源助理，这是一种生成性人工智能助理，旨在提供有关健康生活习惯和心理健康等主要健康主题的信息。

The prototype health AI can communicate in eight languages and is available on any device.

原型健康AI可以用八种语言进行通信，并且可以在任何设备上使用。

Topics it touches on include cancer, heart disease, lung disease and diabetes.

它涉及的主题包括癌症、心脏病、肺病和糖尿病。

S.A.R.A.H. can help people learn more about quitting tobacco, living an active lifestyle, eating a healthy diet and stress relief.

S、 A.R.A.H.可以帮助人们更多地了解戒烟、积极生活、健康饮食和减压。

It is powered by generative AI rather than a pre-set algorithm, which provides more accurate responses in real-time as well as nuanced, empathetic responses. S.A.R.A.H. runs on Soul Machine’s Biological AI platform.

它由生成性人工智能而不是预设算法提供支持，该算法可以实时提供更准确的响应以及细微的移情响应。S、 A.R.A.H.在灵魂机器的生物人工智能平台上运行。

'The future of health is digital, and supporting countries to harness the power of digital technologies for health is a priority for WHO. S.A.R.A.H. gives us a glimpse of how artificial intelligence could be used in future to improve access to health information in a more interactive way. I call on the research community to help us continue to explore how this technology could narrow inequities and help people access up-to-date, reliable health information,' WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said in a statement. .

“健康的未来是数字的，支持各国利用数字技术的力量促进健康是世卫组织的优先事项。S、 A.R.A.H.让我们瞥见了人工智能在未来如何以更互动的方式改进对健康信息的获取。“我呼吁研究界帮助我们继续探索这项技术如何缩小不公平现象，帮助人们获得最新、可靠的健康信息，”世卫组织总干事特德罗斯·阿达诺姆·盖布雷耶苏斯（Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus）在一份声明中说。。

THE LARGER TREND

更大的趋势

In 2020, the WHO launched a new tobacco cessation program called the Access Initiative for Quitting Tobacco, which pairs users with AI virtual health workers for nicotine replacement treatments. The application can be used online for free and was first piloted in Jordan.

2020年，世卫组织启动了一项名为“戒烟获取倡议”的新戒烟计划，该计划将用户与人工智能虚拟健康工作者配对进行尼古丁替代治疗。该应用程序可以在线免费使用，并首次在约旦试用。

Two years later, the National Institutes of Health started work on its own artificial intelligence program, Bridge2AI, which plans to invest $130 million over four years to accelerate the use of AI in biomedical and behavioral health research.

两年后，美国国立卫生研究院（National Institutes of Health）开始开发自己的人工智能项目Bridge2AI，该项目计划在四年内投资1.3亿美元，以加速人工智能在生物医学和行为健康研究中的应用。

In 2023, the United Kingdom partnered with generative AI companies OpenAI and Deep Mind for research and safety purposes. The collaboration aimed to explore how governments can use AI to better serve healthcare and education across the country.

2023年，英国与生成性人工智能公司OpenAI和Deep Mind合作，用于研究和安全目的。此次合作旨在探索政府如何利用人工智能更好地为全国的医疗保健和教育服务。
