“S.A.R.A.H., also known as Sarah, has the ability to support people in developing better understanding of risk factors for some of the leading causes of death in the world.”
“She can help people access up-to-date information on quitting tobacco, being active, eating a healthy diet, and de-stressing among other things,” said WHO in a statement.
WHO added that S.A.R.A.H. is now powered by generative AI rather than a pre-set algorithm or script. This will help her to provide more accurate responses in real-time.
She can also provide nuanced, empathetic responses to users in a judgement-free environment. The technology is supported by Soul Machines Biological AI.
