How Will AI Shape the Future of Pandemic Response Early Clues From Data Analytics

The COVID-19 pandemic revealed numerous critical gaps in healthcare which, the authors hypothesize, can be anticipated and potentially addressed by artificial intelligence (AI). They explore how AI could be used to address data acquisition and aggregation gaps, synthesis gaps, and values-based decision support tools, followed by explaining how AI can be used to address pandemic analytics and response gaps (e.g., public health surveillance, understanding real-time flow of resource needs, and creating clear and ethical triage protocols).
