Final Paper

Although many people work around the clock to deal with the repercussions of the

Coronavirus pandemic, many others are not. There has been progressing made to understand the

links between this situation and the rapid advancement of AI. There is a reason why mobile

phones now have more computing power than the entire US military. As the number of

operational computing devices increases, the demand for computing power keeps growing.

Computer science is one of the last fields to get a boost from the COVID-19 crisis. Computer

science has always been a field where society and the world could benefit from a revolution in

automation. The COVID-19 pandemic was a manifestation of the place of technology in modern

crisis management. For example, the device used for the testing of the samples of COVID-19 is a

machine learning algorithm used to detect the presence of the virus in the body and analyze its

genetic makeup. The machine learning algorithm is responsible for this autonomous behavior.

These machines can analyze the samples and detect the presence of the virus, but they do not

stop there.

Artificial intelligence is one of the most important research fields in recent years. It

outlines the methods and techniques used to develop and improve computers. The bottom line is

that artificial intelligence will be able to learn from the experience much faster and safer than we

were able to learn from experience in the past. Modern machine learning models can "learn"

from data and use it to make predictions about future behavior (Pandey et al. 8). The models'
predictions are then used to make decisions that can lead to changes in the external world. They

can also be used to predict when these changes will occur and how they will affect society.

As the coronavirus spreads and workers in the computer industry are at high risk of

contracting the virus, they are also likely to lose their jobs because companies have to find a new

way to run their business. They are not just relying on their factory jobs. They are also looking

for a new method of training their employees. The wave of automation — automation in

manufacturing, construction, travel, and many other fields — is creating a new surge of

unemployment in many areas, from healthcare to the hospitality industry. This wave of

unemployment will be awful for computer science graduates, who are often left with little to no

job prospects after graduation (Casselman 8). The pandemic has created a new opportunity, and

we are seeing the beginning of a new era of work for computer scientists, mathematicians, and

engineers. The world of work has changed quickly in response to COVID-19. It is an excellent

time to consider balancing creativity and productivity with protecting the environment. This has

had an impact on the development of Artificial Intelligence in general. AI has been able to work

out when to purchase certain products, so it has affected how customers respond to markets. AI

is a field of study concerned with creating machines that learn and improve over time. Mainly,

AI research is being carried out in AI algorithms, machine learning, and computer vision (Zhao

et al. 34). The primary purpose of these algorithms is to solve a particular problem, and they are

often used in applications such as self-driving cars, medical devices, and more. AI research is

essential because it’s the technology that will enable us to make AI smarter than we are today.

The coronavirus pandemic has had an enormous effect on the advancement of AI. Our

current AI systems cannot handle the potential for a pandemic, which prompts the direction AI

will take in terms of progress. AI will be able to use computing power to manage a pandemic.
The trend of artificial intelligence and automation is an in-depth look at what AI is doing now. It

discusses the possibilities and possibilities of the potential of artificial intelligence and AI to

assist in the COVID-19 pandemic. On April 22nd, 2020, US President Donald Trump announced

his plan to combat the novel coronavirus threat. This plan included the creation of a “biometric

passport” to allow society to track the spread of the virus (Choudhury 350). A biometric passport

was created to enable people to prove they are who they say they are. The biometrics were

created by matching a black-and-white photograph.

In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, work on AI and artificial intelligence in computer

science has shifted to the workplace. We have all been suffering from the same anxiety for some

time now. The world is on edge because we know that we are all connected in a vast network and

that some things are not yet possible or safe to do. We live in a world where we constantly need

new tools and new ways of thinking and where we are regularly exposed to emergencies that

surpass the ability of our limited minds to absorb. We will make the pandemic a drama that will

profoundly impact how technology is used in the future. The future of automation is changing in

the Internet age. In the end, the machines will see everything as a potential project. AI can be

harnessed to improve various aspects of our society, and we need to do a lot more work on it.

This trend has created a need for people to be able to work more rapidly and for them to be able

to work from home.
