Artificial intelligence is being touted as what will save us from the pandemic, but that is far from the truth, reports Wired.

Artificial intelligence is here to save us from coronavirus. It spots new outbreaks, identifies people with fevers, diagnoses cases, prioritizes the patients most in need, reads the scientific literature, and is on its way to creating a cure. 

New artificial intelligence technology could detect if people aren’t maintaining adequate social distance, reports MIT Technology Review.

Andrew Ng’s startup Landing AI has created a new workplace monitoring tool that issues an alert when anyone is less than the desired distance from a colleague.

According to the BBC, Covid19 could be speeding up how soon robots enter the workforce. 

For better or worse the robots are going to replace many humans in their jobs, analysts say, and the coronavirus outbreak is speeding up the process.
