How a market is using AI to combat Covid-19 outbreaks
When the coronavirus outbreak first hit the Plaza Minorista market, Edison Palacio knew that it would take more than disinfectant and face masks to contain it. So he decided to use artificial intelligence. Mr Palacio is the director of the densely packed market which sits in the heart of the Colombian city of Medellín. Every day, up to 15,000 people flood into the giant building where more than 3,300 vendors sell fruits, vegetables, meats, eggs, spices, grains and clothes. They are a crucial link bringing food grown on farms to a metropolitan area of nearly four million people.
