The University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg (Wits) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with York University in Canada that will lead to the creation of the Africa-Canada Artificial Intelligence Data Modelling Consortium.  The Consortium will create algorithms based on Artificial Intelligence to predict the evolution of crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, with which to help policymakers and the public manage complex situations.  <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wits.ac.za\/news\/latest-news\/research-news\/2021\/2021-01\/wits-joins-york-univeristy-in-africa-canada-artificial-intelligence-data-modelling-consortium.html\" target=\"_blank\">READ MORE<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>27 January 2021 - Wits University Consortium will research predictive modelling and forecasting of the transmission of COVID-19 in Africa, using Artificial Intelligence.
