Tracking COVID-19: Hunting the Virus with Technology, AI, and Analytics

A Covid-19 taskforce examines a map of the virus' spread. These are just some of the efforts Stanford-affiliated and other researchers are making to monitor and combat the spread of the coronavirus. On April 1, the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) held a virtual COVID-19 and AI Conference, featuring speakers discussing how best to approach the pandemic using technology, AI, and analytics. Beating COVID-19 requires tracking it closely. Multiple groups have been monitoring the virus's spread since late 2019, as discussed by John Brownstein, a Harvard pediatrics professor.
