Responding to COVID-19 with AI and machine learning

Today I published a perspective paper on COVID-19. The paper is co-authored with members of the Cambridge Centre for AI in Medicine (which I recently founded and I am directing), and calls on governments and healthcare authorities to use proven AI and machine learning techniques and existing data to coordinate a response to the disease. If you'd like to ask me about the paper or discuss it further, please leave a question/comment below, and I'll get back to you. I've also provided a link to the full paper at the bottom of this post. Both the UK and the international community are still in the early stages of a crisis that will see an unbelievable amount of pressure put on social and healthcare infrastructure.
