@aliveandthrive showed how innovative technology like AI (VIVID) IS already used in Argentina & other countries to detect violations in 78th WHA side event on restricting harmful digital marketing @ColansaLAC @Colectivoporel1 Full video: colansa.org/library/asamblea… @Colectivoporel1

The Resolution on BMS digital marketing calls on civil society to support the development and implementation of robust regulatory measures to regulate the digital marketing of BMS and foods for infants and young children. @WHO @aliveandthrive @DrTedros

@aliveandthrive, with @unicef country offices, adapted the Code Monitoring Digital Platforms (includes an AI detector VIVID) to be implemented in Mexico, Argentina, Laos, and Mongolia, after the Vietnam VIVID prototype, to conduct monitoring of violations on digital platforms.

@aliveandthrive, with @UNICEF country offices, adapted the Code Monitoring Digital Platform, which includes the AI auto-detector VIVID, to conduct Code monitoring, specifically digital marketing of BMS & related products. See Argentina’s: ObservaMas.org

On May 21, @aliveandthrive presented VIVID Vietnam prototype, and the Code Monitoring Digital Platforms in Mexico, Argentina, Laos, and Mongolia (in partnership with @UNICEF) at the 78th WHA side event on Monitoring Digital Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes.

@aliveandthrive is honored to be participating in this #WHA side event on Monitoring digital marketing of BMS, and will share some of the findings of our #VIVID AI auto detection. Stay tuned @unicef @fhi360 @fiocruz @ILCA1985 @ColansaLAC @ibfanglobal

Together with @UNICEFargentina & national CSOs @fundeps @fundacion_sanar, @aliveandthrive @fhisolutions is developing a Code Monitoring Digital Platform, with AI Virtual Violations Detector/VIVID to integrate findings with enforcement action tracker. Read: shorturl.at/VuUNO

VIVID utilizes deep-learning algorithms to detect online Code violations -its human supervised machine learning ensures human participation in monitoring @KBackholer @PhilBakerNZ @MathisenRoger @Duong95462326 @strongerlinh @CONSTANCECHING4 @aliveandthrive doi.org/10.1111/mcn.13680

This #WHO document examines how restrictions on digital marketing are implemented by governments, describes challenges and provides policy options and approaches that governments can adopt, including using AI (VIVID) to monitor and help enforcement: iris.who.int/bitstream/handl…

VIVID Viet Nam as an example of using AI innovations to help monitoring & enforcement in "#WHO Restricting digital marketing in the context of tobacco, alcohol, food and beverages, and breast-milk substitutes" iris.who.int/bitstream/handl…

Parents are inundated with misleading ads like these found on billboards in Bangkok Thailand. The promotion on digital platforms is even more rampant and insidious. VIVID can be an AI solution used to support monitoring on digital platforms and help track enforcement actions.

The world’s first & only AI-powered auto-detector for harmful marketing on digital platforms, VIVID, was in the AI4Health Asia accelerator program for the past 10 months, thanks to @VillgroPH and @IDRC_CRDI. This week, we’re in Bangkok for its impact showcase.

Snippet from our VIVID findings report on Australia that documented violations captured from October 2022 to August 2023 - available soon!

At the 7th South-East Asia Subregional SDG Forum held at @UNESCAP Bangkok, @aliveandthrive, together with @unicef and @WFP, discusses using AI technology (VIVID) to help monitor harmful food marketing, including promotion practices that contribute to malnutrition.
