The novel coronavirus is highly contagious, and frontliners like healthcare officials and police face immense threat of getting infected. This has led scientists across the world look for solutions in technology, especially, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and robots.Artificial intelligence has been playing a significant role in analyzing the DNA composition of the novel coronavirus and is helping scientists speed up the vaccine discovery process. In fact, due to the wide scope of deep learning system, AI can now help in maintaining law and order and stop the spread of misinformation that can induce fear among people during the pandemic.AI in HealthcareArtificial intelligence is being used to early screen COVID-19 patients from their computed tomography (CT) images and is quite a promising supplementary diagnostic method for frontline clinical doctors. So far, the overall accuracy of the deep learning models is 86.7%. This is especially for three groups: COVID-19, Influenza-A viral pneumonia and healthy cases.Additionally, scientists globally are using AI to identify underlying genomic signatures for 29 different DNA sequences of COVID-19.
