Artificial intelligence in the field against coronavirus

Artificial intelligence takes the field against coronavirus: a consortium called C3.ai Digital Transformation Institute (C3.ai DTI) has been created which will fund research for a total of almost 6 million dollars aimed at mitigating the pandemic using artificial intelligence.

The consortium is made up of academic and non-academic institutions, including the universities of Princeton, Carnegie Mellon, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of California, the University of Illinois, the University of Chicago, as well as the C3.ai and Microsoft groups.

According to reports on the C3.ai DTI website, the consortium's mission is to attract the world's best-trained researchers in the field of artificial intelligence to join in a joint, coordinated and ongoing effort in this endeavor. The first research call launched by the consortium, for a total of 5.8 million dollars, is entitled "Techniques based on artificial intelligence to mitigate the pandemic".
