How AI actually helped in the development of Covid mRNA Vaccine

While people may be thinking that AI is still in a research and development stage, they don't actually realize that this isn't true for a lot of cases. In this article, I am going to demonstrate how AI actually helped many organizations to fight the Covid, which I consider to be "indirect help". On another hand, I will also show that it directly helped to develop the actual Covid vaccine. If you haven't checked out my recent blog post on Stanford's Covid mRNA vaccine degradation prediction competition on Kaggle where tons of people from the data science community were actually working on improving the vaccine models, check this out: Although IBM didn't actually come up with the final vaccine model, they were heavily working on it. The IBM team is using a computational model of the spike (S-protein) of SARS-CoV-2 to model its interaction with the human ACE2 receptor .
