Why this version exists

Certified into the record

The exact text we saved

This is the version exactly as it was saved, character for character. The SHA-256 hash below is a 64-character code worked out from that text. Run the same text through SHA-256 and you get the same code; change a single letter and the code comes out completely different. Each version also stores the previous version’s hash, which chains them together so no version can be swapped out quietly.

quick_read: Artificial intelligence (AI) is expanding the capacity of public health systems to detect infectious disease signals, forecast outbreaks, analyse pathogen evolution, generate localised risk estimates, and support operational decisions. The thirteenth session of the WHO Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence Innovation Forum brought together experts from academic, public health, and technology organisations to examine current applications of AI in infectious disease modelling and pandemic preparedness.

Examples included genomic surveillance, hybrid epidemiological and machine-learning models, spatial foundation models, AI-enabled decision support, and agent-based simulations for resource allocation. Sustained interdisciplinary collaboration, human oversight, robust validation, and equitable design will be essential to embed AI safely and effectively within public health decision-making.

How to check it yourself, without trusting this page

Download any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1177 and hash its canonical field yourself, for example with shasum -a 256. You should get its content_hash. Each version’s text also ends with prev:and the hash of the version before it (version 1 points to 64 zeros). If anyone had changed a single character of any version after it was saved, those hashes wouldn’t line up.
