Asia Leading in AI Business Deployment, Personalized Prediction to Combat COVID-19

Asia is leading the pack in AI business deployment compared to less than a third for US companies. The adoption rate in the rest of the world remains low, as firms do not understand the deployment of AI¹ in their operations. The surveillance behavior of Chinese firms continues and contravenes privacy. MIT's decision to end its collaboration with iFlytek¹⁰ from China makes sense and will set the trend for other companies. Artificial intelligence does not have to hurt people but rather be ethical, responsible, and accountable.
