Looking outside the box: AI in the fight against COVID-19, how our society is being transformed by tech, and sensors analyzing your football skills

This week in artificial intelligence (AI) news, we take a look at AI and other tech being used to fight novel coronavirus (COVID-19), how AI and technology are impacting our society, and the implications for wearable tech. As the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) spreads throughout the world, individuals from various backgrounds and disciplines, such as healthcare and tech, are coming together to figure out how to solve this crisis as well as mitigate the growing fear from the general public. One area that is working towards this goal is artificial intelligence (AI). In a report last month, the World Health Organization (WHO) said, "AI and big data were a key part of China's response to the virus." One way this tech is being utilized is through anonymized data collected on people's movements, helping them to predict the spread of the virus.
