The recent coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to spread around the world at a steady rate and there is still no proven treatment for it. Scientists are using artificial intelligence to find a treatment for the virus. Using deep learning, scientists are able to test different combinations of drugs that might be effective against the virus. Instead of testing existing drugs, some companies are using AI to develop new drugs that might also fight the virus.
Without artificial intelligence, this process would be extremely time consuming. To read more about which companies are embracing AI and what they are doing specifically, follow this link: https://spectrum.ieee.org/the-human-os/artificial-intelligence/medical-ai/companies-ai-coronavirus
