Artificial Intelligence Is Predicting Future COVID-19 Strains, Developing Treatments

Researchers take part in research activity in the big cabinet with ventilation hood for the COVID project at TLS Foundation on February 22, 2021 in Siena, Italy. It was just over a year ago that then-President Donald Trump officially declared the COVID-19 pandemic a national emergency. New York City was the epicenter of what would become the most tragic public health crisis in a century. Today, the United States alone has lost over 535,000 lives to COVID-19, with nearly 30 million Americans infected overall. Mass distribution of vaccines is providing relief to Americans, but the mutation of the virus troubles scientists and medical professionals, who are using new technology in an all-out race to predict and stop the deadly transformations from wreaking havoc on an already devastated world.
