THE ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN TACKLING COVID-19

AI was used for the detection and quantification of COVID-19 cases from chest x-ray and CT scan images . Researchers have developed a deep learning model called COVID-19 detection neural network (COVNet), for differentiating between COVID-19 and community-acquired pneumonia based on visual 2D and 3D features extracted from volumetric chest CT scan Singh et al. developed a novel deep learning model using MultiObjective Differential Evolution and convolutional neural networks for COVID-19 diagnosis using a chest CT Unprecedented pace of efforts to address the COVID-19 pandemic situation is leveraged by big data and artificial intelligence (AI). Various offshoots of AI have been used in several disease outbreaks earlier. AI can play a vital role in the fight against COVID-19. AI is being successfully used in the identification of disease clusters, monitoring of cases, prediction of the future outbreaks, mortality risk, diagnosis of COVID-19, disease management by resource allocation, facilitating training, record maintenance and pattern recognition for studying the disease trend.
