Study Suggests AI Could Predict Future Pandemics
AI has greatly enhanced the ability to predict the emergence and spread of diseases. A recent study highlights that continued advancements in this field rely on transparent data and lower training costs. AI has already been applied in various areas of healthcare, such as diagnosing patients, assisting doctors in decision-making, and predicting individual disease risks. However, its role in epidemiology remains limited, largely due to difficulties accessing large, standardized datasets required for effectively training AI models. Newer AI systems, however, have shown the ability to perform well even with smaller datasets, making them valuable for epidemiological research. When an outbreak…
