Nutzung von künstlicher Intelligenz zur Bekämpfung der COVID-19-Pandemie

COVID-19 hat viele Gesundheitssysteme völlig unvorbereitet getroffen. Insbesondere in der Frühphase der Pandemie herrschte großer Druck, trotz fehlenden Wissens über die neue Erkrankung die Lage wieder in den Griff zu bekommen. In dieser Situation wollten Forscher weltweit mithelfen, die Pandemie durch Nutzung künstlicher Intelligenz zu bewältigen. Welche Ansätze man verfolgt hat und welche erfolgreich waren, stellt dieser Artikel dar.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic is a global health emergency of historic dimension. In this situation, researchers worldwide wanted to help manage the pandemic by using artificial intelligence (AI). This narrative review aims to describe the usage of AI in the combat against COVID-19. The addressed aspects encompass AI algorithms for analysis of thoracic X-rays or CTs, prediction models for severity and outcome of the disease, AI applications in development of new drugs and vaccines as well as forecasting models for spread of the virus. The review shows, which approaches were pursued, and which were successful.
