Hospitals deployed AI in mass to help with COVID-19; Research suggests they don't work

A June report from the Turing Institute, the U.K.'s center for data science and artificial intelligence, found that AI tools made little to no effect in combatting COVID-19. A separate study published in the British Medical Journal analyzed 232 algorithms designed to diagnose patients or predict how sick they may become with COVID-19. Researchers found none of them were fit for clinical use and only two were promising enough for future testing. A study published in Nature Machine Intelligence looked at 415 deep-learning models created to diagnose COVID-19 patients and predict patient risk from medical images. Researchers concluded none of them were fit for clinical use.
