Harnessing the Power of AI to Predict the Next Pandemic
Can AI predict the next pandemic?
Since time immemorial, mankind has constantly been at war with nature. Every time a power tussle ensued between the two, the human species have infamously emerged victorious.
We evolved against all odds and placed ourselves at the center of all existence. Such evolution is unmistakably characterized by sheer innovation and ingenuity. We’re proud of the progress we’ve made. But COVID-19 threatened that very existence. It struck a death blow to the human species, societies, and the systems we’ve created.
For the first time in centuries, humans have come close to losing a battle with nature and its fervor. That brings us to the question: Is it possible for us to use the single most powerful invention of the 21st century i.e. Artificial Intelligence to predict and better manage the next pandemic? Is it possible for us to emerge victorious in the next battle?
Artificial intelligence, briefly put, is a computer science that develops programs to mimic human intelligence. With the help of powerful computers and algorithms, it yields the power to collect, collate, analyze and predict the next move with accuracy and precision that’s unparalleled. Its application in the medical field is relatively a recent phenomenon dating back…
