AIs use regarding Coronavirus

Coronavirus has grabbed the attention of the world, being declared a global emergency. With AI already having been used in the past in the field of healthcare, how can AI help regarding the Coronavirus? To start, simply processing huge amounts of data from multiple countries and are in multiple languages is a task that would require immense manpower traditionally, though with AI assistance this task is reduced in difficulty significantly. Instead of spending their time making sense of data, health experts can spend their valuable time on responding to the virus itself. AI also has the ability to predict where the virus will spread to or could move to next, which would allow for those areas and health professionals to prepare for it in advance. It’s also possible for AI to create possible vaccination formulations, which is a task usually filled with trial and error and not something an AI could do independently, though it can assist professionals which saves crucial time.
