Abstract :

Artificial intelligence (AI) development and the application of its technology in human life is continuing at an astounding rate. Among the variety of examples of AI being used for a variety of tasks, its contribution to epidemic control has recently captured a great deal of interest at the time of the recent Covid-19 pandemic, a crisis which occurred due to the Coronavirus spread. As the entire world has been concerning over urgent efforts addressing the damaging effects since the outbreak, Artificial Intelligence emerged as a great possible solution. This study is aimed at examining how artificial intelligence gets us ready to combat and control COVID-19 and other future pandemics, as this is unlikely to be the last of the epidemics. Moreover, several key technological solutions are outlined that could help combat future pandemics and make us prepared. As a result, technology development can be promoted to overcome any possible unexpected subsequent crisis.
