Lady Gaga is calling on tech developers to come together and build a solution to shut down the COVID19Pandemic
Lady Gaga, winner of Best Music , attends the 2019 Vanity Fair Oscar Party hosted by Radhika Jones at Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on Feb. 24, 2019 in Beverly Hills, Calif. is calling on tech developers to come together and build a solution to shut down COVID-19.
The"Stupid Love" singer recorded a minute-long video message for the IBM Developer Twitter account on Tuesday in partnership with a major United Nations Human Rights initiative, Call for Code, to ask innovators to step up. "To all of the developers, problem solvers, innovators: We need you right now during COVID-19 more than ever," she said."To use technology and data to change the world, before the world changes us -- even though it already has. Now is the time to fight back against this coronavirus, to use open technology to solve problems at scale and to save lives... I'm asking you to answer the call, build a solution that fights back, that saves lives.
Gaga's appeal is part of the 2020 IBM Call for Code Global Challenge, which IBM has already put $25 million behind developing top solutions, The initiative is supported by Global Partner UN Human Rights and affiliate the Linux Foundation. Everyone involved in the Call for Code challenge will be acting fast, too: The first three COVID-19 solutions will be selected by May 5, with deployment beginning May 15, according to a press release.
