Artificial intelligence produces data synthetically to help treat diseases like COVID-19 -- FCAI

Data driven technologies and "big data" are revolutionizing many industries. However, in many areas of research – including health and drug development – there is too little data available due to its sensitive nature and the strict protection of individuals. When data are scarce, the conclusions and predictions made by researchers remain uncertain, and the coronavirus outbreak is one of these situations. "When a person gets sick, of course, they want to get the best possible care. Then it would be important to have the best possible methods of personalized healthcare available", says Samuel Kaski, Academy Professor and the Director of the Finnish Center for Artificial Intelligence FCAI.
