Russia plans to use artificial intelligence to analyze the epidemic 
In the & nbsp; tender documents, the customer notes that & nbsp; the spread of technologies that use digital traces for & nbsp; personality analysis, & nbsp; opens up ample opportunities for & nbsp; assessing a personality and & nbsp; predicting its & nbsp; behavior without & nbsp; carrying out psychological testing, requiring his free consent. & Nbsp; one of & nbsp; sources of these traces are social networks, “ accumulating extensive materials on interests, hobbies, user records, recording indicators of his behavioral activity.
