In theory, AI systems would find itself most useful for warnings, early diagnoses, and cures, and there has been published research in these areas. However, we currently don’t have enough data and information to train AI algorithms to diagnose, simulate, and understand viruses such as Covid-19. If we wish to make AI a strong ally against the next pandemic, we’ll need to feed it a healthy diet of data in the years to come.
