This book examines how the wonders of AI have contributed to the battle
against COVID-19. Just as history repeats itself, so do epidemics and
pandemics. In the face of the novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19, the
book explores whether, in this digital era where artificial intelligence
is successfully applied in all areas of industry, we are doing any
better than our ancestors did in dealing with pandemics. One of the most
contagious diseases ever known, COVID-19 is spreading like wildfire
around and has cost thousands of human lives.
The book discusses how AI can help fight this deadly virus, from early
warnings, prompt emergency responses, and critical decision-making to
surveillance drones. Serving as a technical reference resource, data
analytic tutorial and a chronicle of the application of AI in epidemics,
this book will appeal to academics, students, data scientists, medical
practitioners, and anybody who is concerned about this global epidemic.
