Researchers Encouraged to Use Artificial Intelligence to Analyze Coronavirus
COVID-19 researchers are expected to begin using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to data-mine new clues and insights regarding COVID-19. The Office of Science and Technology Policy issued a call to action for researchers to start using this technology to sort through the scholarly data on the topic using a newly created database.
Major healthcare organizations would like a better understanding of how COVID-19 originated and how it spreads to better develop a potential treatment. AI could help in this regard, as this technology is capable of scanning the 29,000 or so scholarly articles on the subject much faster than a human can. This could lead to the discovery of new clues and insights that otherwise would be near impossible for a person to find.
