Erik Hersman: Erik Hersman o izveštavanju o problemima

Erik Hersman o izveštavanju o problemima

Na konferenciji TEDU 2009, Erik Hersman ovekovečuje zadivljujuću priču o Ushahidi-ju,  o remiksu GuglMapa koji je omogućio ljudima u Keniji da izveštavaju i lociraju nasilje putem SMS poruka nakon izbora 2008., a ova inicijativa nastavlja da spašava živote ljudi i u drugim zemljama.

A platform born in Kenya during post-election violence let anyone report events with a mobile phone, transforming crisis response in just three days. This simple crowdsourced map has spread from Congo to Gaza, helping communities and NGOs worldwide track real-time events. As fast reporting outpaces our ability to process it, a new challenge emerges: making sense of a flood of eyewitness data. By building filters and crowd-based verification, this approach refines truth from chaos, proving that innovations born in Africa can lead the world.
