Artificial intelligence (AI) has evolved into one of the most advanced technologies that can be used in different industries for different things. A decade ago, when enthusiasts first talked about the potential of this technology, many laughed it off as just another fantasy and dreams that would never succeed. As we speak today, countries are trying their best to be the leaders in this area. It is the hottest buzzword in business circles and among governments as it is quickly proving to be a critical lynchpin of the digital transformation and automation that many players are seeking to take advantage of to reduce the cost of doing business and increase effectiveness.

Medical researchers are using machine learning to develop an app that can find asymptomatic Covid patients via their cough, reports Medical Xpress.
