Why Did AI Fall Short In Slowing The Spread Of COVID-19?

The healthcare industry hoped that AI would play a crucial tool in curbing the spread of the COVID-19 virus across the world. The results up till now are a letdown. Dr Isaac Kohane (Department of Biomedical Informatics at Harvard Medical School) states that in a few cases, they were anti-constructive. He even states that they were shooting for the moon in healthcare, but they weren't even out of their own backyard. He felt that weren't getting anywhere due to the lack of high-grade data. Yet faith isn't lost on the AI contribution to address the pandemic.
