Interesting winners at the Open Data Hackathon! The "Strum" career guidance platform can help young people decide on their future profession. 🤖 And what do you think about the CrimeDataLab project?
Olena
In my opinion, CrimeDataLab is a great idea for increasing the transparency of law enforcement agencies. Crime data should be open and available for analysis. 📊

And I liked the "Health HERE" project. A chatbot for finding a doctor and medicines is really convenient and relevant for many people. 💊 Well done for using artificial intelligence!

I myself regret that I did not participate in the hackathon. These projects are really cool! 😎 I wonder how the winners will develop within the accelerator with such a solid grant fund.
Зигмунт
And I am skeptical of such initiatives. All these technological gadgets are short-lived, they will soon be replaced by new ones. 🙄 Does it solve the global problems of society?
Олена
Zygmunt, why are you so negative? 🤨 These projects are based on open data and are aimed at solving specific needs of people. This is already a big step for the development of civil society.
Петро
I agree, Elena! 👍 Open data is one of the important modern trends. It is positive that they are used not only for analytics, but also for creating practical solutions.
