AI, Machine Learning Playing Important Role in Fighting COVID-19 - AI Trends

AI and machine learning are playing an important role in fighting the pandemic brought on by COVID-19, with technological innovation and ingenuity being applied to large volumes of data to quickly identify patterns and gain insights. Efforts are underway to speed up research and treatment, and better understand how COVID-19 spreads. Chatbots employing AI are speeding up communication around the pandemic. One example is from Clevy.io, a French startup that launched a chatbot to make it easier for people to find official government communications about COVID-19, according to an account from the World Economic Forum. The bot is getting realtime information from the French government and the World Health Organization, to help relay known symptoms and answer questions about government policies.
