Applications, AI finds its application in effective management of viral pandemic COVID-19 which has affected entire world since the beginning of 2020. Although AI and ML has many existing applications in healthcare, but the outbreak of this pandemic has reshaped the use of AI vastly and has given scientists a unique opportunity to apply these tools and technologies to fight the disease in numerous ways. With humungous amounts of data backing up the process, AI has been significantly implemented in areas like detection of geographical clusters of cases, early warning signals and detection of disease, monitoring the spread of virus, contact tracing, forecasting and projection of cases, reducing the time taken to development of vaccine, rapid trials and test results, reducing administrative burden, balancing workload of healthcare staff and providing new insights on the behaviour and strength of virus and its symptoms. AI has achieved this by organizing the information and providing it in real time with high accuracy, as and when required to support the decision making in these critical times.
