Lost Your Job Due To Coronavirus? Artificial Intelligence Could Be Your Best Friend In Finding A New One

Millions of Americans are unemployed and looking for work. Hiring continues, but there’s far more demand for jobs than supply. As scholars of human resources and management, we believe artificial intelligence could be a boon for job seekers who need an edge in a tight labor market like today’s. What’s more, our research suggests it can make the whole process of finding and changing jobs much less painful, more effective and potentially more lucrative. Make me a match Over the last three years, we’ve intensely studied the role of AI in recruiting. This research shows that job candidates are positively…

Reopening The Economy: How AI Is Providing Guidance

As communities take various measures to reopen for business while reducing the risk of further COVID-19 outbreaks, navigating the recovery is daunting. It’s a historic juggling of public health considerations with the need to revive the economy. Business and community leaders are struggling to pilot through a dense fog. Using AI-powered health and economic data, the COVID-19 Risk, Readiness and Recovery Dashboard, provides information at the county level to help businesses and public officials determine when to “reopen.” For us at Wunderman Thompson, a global creative agency that specializes in using data-driven human insights to help clients devise marketing, media…

Coronavirus May Mean Automation Is Coming Sooner Than We Thought

We’re in the midst of a public health emergency, and life as we know it has ground to a halt. The places we usually go are closed, the events we were looking forward to are canceled, and some of us have lost our jobs or fear losing them soon. But although it may not seem like it, there are some silver linings; this crisis is bringing out the worst in some (I’m looking at you, toilet paper hoarders), but the best in many. Italians on lockdown are singing together, Spaniards on lockdown are exercising together, this entrepreneur made a DIY…

Using AI To Help Health Experts Address The COVID-19 Pandemic

AI is an important tool to support public health experts around the world in their efforts to keep people safe and informed amid the coronavirus pandemic. Facebook AI is partnering with academic researchers and other experts on a range of initiatives related to COVID-19. We are sharing overviews of several of these now, and we will add updates and more information in the days and weeks to come. More information is available here about Facebook’s broader efforts related to this pandemic. Improved COVID-19 forecasting and tools for resource planning Facebook AI has partnered with New York University’s Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences…

IBM Releases Novel AI-Powered Technologies To Help Health And Research Community Accelerate The Discovery Of Medical Insights And Treatments For COVID-19

IBM Research has been actively developing new cloud and AI-powered technologies that can help researchers across a variety of scientific disciplines accelerate the process of discovery. As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolds, we continue to ask how these technologies and our scientific knowledge can help in the global battle against coronavirus. IBM makes available multiple novel, free resources to help healthcare researchers, doctors and scientists around the world accelerate COVID-19 drug discovery: from gathering insights, to applying the latest virus genomic information and identifying potential targets for treatments, to creating new drug molecule candidates. Though some of the resources are still…

AI Can Help With The COVID-19 Crisis – But The Right Human Input Is Key

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to help us tackle the pressing issues raised by the COVID-19 pandemic. It is not the technology itself, though, that will make the difference but rather the knowledge and creativity of the humans who use it. Indeed, the COVID-19 crisis will likely expose some of the key shortfalls of AI. Machine learning, the current form of AI, works by identifying patterns in historical training data. When used wisely, AI has the potential to exceed humans not only through speed but also by detecting patterns in that training data that humans have overlooked. However, AI…

Coronavirus: “Flattening The Curve” — Deadly Misconceptions Debunked

A major public message by health authorities in the midst of the COVID-19 can probably be summarized through one concept — we must do our best to flatten the curve. While the graphic has been considerably successful in spreading the important message in this pandemic, there are some misconceptions about this “curve” that may lead to some deadly consequences. Let’s address them. What is the ‘curve’ and how do we ‘flatten’ it? First, we must understand what is the “curve.” This curve, known as an epidemic curve or epi curve, is a plot of the number of new cases…

Artificial Intelligence Deployed Against Coronavirus

Lunar New Year lanterns lit up the eerily empty streets in Wuhan, China as the Wuhan Coronavirus outbreak escalated and swept through at least 36 countries and territories. In the wake of the pandemic, Chinese authorities took emergency steps to limit the virus’s spread and shut down transit going in and out of Wuhan. Amid the rising global spread of the mysterious virus, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) and eventually a pandemic. The emergent outbreak has gripped international attention and prompted global efforts in fighting the novel virus. In this complex and demanding battle,…

How China Is Using Artificial Intelligence And Big Data In Fighting Coronavirus

Compared to the 2002 SARS outbreak about two decades ago and the on-going COVID-19 outbreak today, China is equipped with more powerful technologies that are aiding them in suppressing the spread — Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data analytics. How do they help exactly? Eyes are watching According to Al Jazeera, the Chinese surveillance system is currently the most sophisticated and expansive surveillance infrastructure in the world. First, there are about 200 million security cameras that are installed across the country. In conjunction, there is also a real-name system that requires people to use government IDs to do various kinds…
