And while that was happening, the financial sector was also taking note. Among the many boons of AI tech for finance is the practice called algorithmic trading: the idea that an advanced AI may be able to assist the investors by predicting the market dynamics with enough precision to make consistent profit. And while many advanced machine learning models developed for this purpose stay outside the reach of the general public, others are eager to make AI-driven trading available to a broader audience. One of the leaders in this sphere is the Israel-based company with an ambitious name I Know First. With its powerful cloud-based AI capable of predicting the price dynamics for more than 10,000 financial instruments, including stock ideas, ETFs, world indices, commodities and currencies, it offers its forecasts to private and institutional investors alike.

With the number of Coronavirus cases increasing every day, it is evident that the entire world is struggling to triumph over this deadly disease. While the top health organizations are aiding funds to facilitate research, many believe that the artificial intelligence might help in decelerating the crisis. Let's have a look at how artificial intelligence can help in overcoming this pandemic situation: Artificial Intelligence, aka AI, may see coming pandemics, which will give us sufficient time to prepare. According to Forbes, a Canada based development company had warned of this threat a few days before the authorities issued public warnings. This clearly depicts that the earlier we can track the virus, the better we can fight it.
