Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly AI’s so-called machine learning (ML) industry, had already caused widespread chaos in almost all industries before the 2020 global pandemic hit, and the world was upset on its head.
The COVID-19 pandemic has influenced many industries. However, the effect of AI on our lives has not been diminished. Self-learning algorithms, intelligent machinery, and others we will face in the future will play a significant role in the continuing battle against this epidemic.
AI is undeniably a crucial trend in choosing the innovations that will transform our way of living, working, and doing things in the immediate future. It outlines what we should expect in a reconstruction and replenishment of goals and targets for our business.
Smarter Big Data Analytics and Insights
During this pandemic, we saw in person that statistics on the distribution of viruses worldwide must be analyzed and interpreted promptly. Governments, public health institutions, university research centers, and industries create innovative collecting, aggregating, and working with knowledge. With daily reports of the current infections or death rates in our regions, we have become used to seeing the results on television.
The most extensive explanation for this pandemic is technological progress. It did not, for example, destroy as many as the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918, which took up to 50,000,000 lives, from advancements in medical science and health care standards to advances in information technology that allow for faster discovery of diseases and lockdowns.
The following year, AI is on the list of technological advances enabling us to deal with pandemics more effectively.
There is tremendous growth in science and medical literature, with over 28,000 publications on COVID-19 released by April. A dedicated NLP algorithm search engine is available now so that everyone can get help from AI in researching this vast dataset.
We continue to create AI technologies to help address the enormous backlog of other medical problems, such as cancer, where care has been affected by the deployment of money in the battle against COVID-19. In addition to dealing with viruses, we can see the rapid implementation of AI in several other healthcare fields during the coming year.
Automated Detection and Prevention
We have at least seen the use of drones in many countries, including the US, to assess compliance with social distancing guidelines. More sophisticated applications are on the horizon. For example, drones can track COVID-19 symptoms, like high temperature in people in a crowd. These programs use machine vision technologies to interpret the data collected by drone cameras and communicate statistics and the probabilities of transmitting the virus to local authorities or managers.
Face detection, also driven by computer vision algorithms, would be another associated growth field. Either the police use facet detection to spot lockouts and quarantine evaders rather than trends in crowds of people and monitor human gestures that show signs inside a group. It was more contentious.
Business on the Rebound – Predicting Behavioral Transformation
The spread of COVID-19 greatly affected how we live, work, and socialize. While there has been a slow, powerful digital movement in many facets of society, we have witnessed a stampede this year. Amazon’s revenues increased 40 percent over the same timeframe last year during the second quarter of 2020, with even those who long shunned internet shopping being compelled to re-evaluate their choices.
AI instruments and platforms also help companies understand how their consumers respond to a new reality. Organizations that historically lagged behind digital platforms for trade and the development of relationships have understood the gravity of the situation and can quickly deal with topics like conduct analytics and personalization. Tools to provide self-service organizations with access to this technology are increasingly prominent in the coming years, with SMEs trying to build their competitive advantage.
End the Next Pandemic Before it Starts
Most AI algorithms are prediction-oriented, and the AI-assisted epidemiology holy grail would build a device that will forecast precisely when and where potential outbreaks occur. This investigation has generated some of the earliest warnings about the current epidemic and AI for some time. Blue Dot’s Toronto-based tool scanned 100,000 data points from the government and media daily when it warned about a possible outbreak on 31 December 2019 in Wuhan, China.
In the next 18 months, we should expect AI research to produce more advances that enhance our ability to spot and respond to the risk of viral outbreaks. However, continued global collaboration between governments and the private sector would still be needed for this to happen. World politics, lawmakers, and technological growth trajectory will likely change how this happens. Over the next year, there will also be hot subjects, such as access to medical data sets and international knowledge-sharing barriers.
Bottom Line
In the future, artificial intelligence significantly influences every phase of life. Some top AI trends discussed have emerging power.
