The coronavirus pandemic has made people in the UK more likely to support the use of technology such as artificial intelligence and data analytics in enhancing public safety a new report argues.
A study by Goldsmiths University and Motorola found that three-quarters of people surveyed believed technology should be used to help emergency services predict risk, while a similar number said all forms of technology including video surveillance, needed to be more widely used to address the challenges of the modern world.
A major study of vaccine hesitancy among schoolchildren has found that younger children and those who are from more deprived communities were the most hesitant to get the jab. Those who were less willing to be vaccinated also felt less connected to their school community.
Researchers say the study shows the need to focus information more on social media than in traditional news outlets so that it can reach a younger audience.
