Artificial Intelligence: The Practicality of the Predictability - EE Times Europe

Over the last couple of days, I've had a lot of time (as well as many others) to think about COVID-19, and whether any AI technology can predict the pandemic virus outbreak patterns and warn us of its intended path. While many brilliant epidemiologists are searching for a cure, other researchers are considering how AI can be effectively utilized to simulate and predict how diseases will spread and how diseases will be contained. This is the art of practical AI and the merging of science and technology to predict the needs of a public health crisis worldwide. Part of the science in predicting is the ability to predict in real-time, based on unplanned scenarios or across various internal and external environmental conditions. Our machines must be able to adapt and respond like humans in order to provide more spontaneous and accurate response, especially in times of dire need.
