How can artificial intelligence help overcome the crisis generated by the COVID-19?
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE HAD DETECTED THE EPIDEMIC SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE THE WHO. Last January, we learned that an AI from BlueDot, a Canadian startup, had in fact already anticipated the Covid-19 epidemic. At the end of December, the algorithm would have detected the appearance of the coronavirus in the province of Wuhan and correctly predicted the evolution of the virus towards other cities in Asia. How did this system get ahead of the World Health Organization? The BlueDot algorithm uses natural language processing and machine learning techniques and continuously scans for newsletters in many languages, official statements, reports of new plant and animal diseases as well as publications on forums and blogs that relate unusual events. By collecting this data, the algorithm can then detect the signals of an epidemic and their location. Subsequently, it is even able to determine where and when individuals infected with the disease go using data from ticket offices of global airlines. Epidemiologists will then check the relevance of the analyzes of artificial intelligence and will validate or not the conclusions obtained. Unfortunately, the BlueDot alerts were not taken into account by the health authorities who had received the startup's conclusions.
