Artificial intelligence (AI) has already had a broad application in manufacturing previously, where it enables a machine to perform a single task, such as product inspection or assembly, very well. Recently, another type of AI, which allows a machine to perform tasks that involve more sophisticated analysis, is being applied to medicine in fields such as disease transmission prediction and drug discovery.
AI and disease transmission prediction
The modeling and prediction of disease transmission are critical because they offer insights and potential strategies for disease prevention and patient quarantine and treatment.
In recent years, academic researchers have started to apply AI to disease prediction.
