💬 Can AI cure covid? 🗣 Starting from China, the COVID-19 outbreak has taken Europe by storm, forcing national governments to implement drastic measures and citizens to practice social distancing to minimize transmission. Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a crucial role in the fight against the outbreak. Through deep learning, AI directly prevents further transmission thanks to drug discovery screenings, virus detection and automated CT image recognition, while at the same time predicting contagion patterns, facilitating thus national policies. Indirectly, AI-powered automation contributes to reducing physical interaction and enable social distancing on a wider scale. For this reason, guaranteeing access to trustworthy data and creating talent pool able to harness their power is paramount. Through the coordination of institutional actors, both industrial players and researchers will response to high priority scientific and social questions generated by COVID-19.
