According to Tech Republic, artificial intelligence is helping to track the spread of Covid-19.

As the coronavirus continues to spread around the globe, we've seen a surge in the use of cutting edge technologies to track and control the pandemic, especially artificial intelligence. It seems like only a distant memory when artificial intelligence (AI) was being discussed as an emergent "existential threat" to humanity. 

According to TNW, it is possible that artificial intelligence is already “conscious”.

The ultimate goal of most high-level AI research is the development of a general artificial intelligence (GAI). In essence, what we want is a synthetic mind that could function the same as a human were it placed into a physical vessel of similar capability.

Is the current artificial intelligence trustworthy enough to effectively help us battle Covid-19, reports the World Economic Forum. 

Imagine a hypothetical scenario: a head of state meets with the founders of a health-tech startup that claims to have designed an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered application that can predict which COVID-19 patients are more at risk of developing severe respiratory diseases. The stakes are high from both a health and an economic perspective.
