One of the main ways this works is by utilizing facial recognition software world wide that can help track individuals who may have symptoms of COVID 19. By analyzing individuals on the street, we can track their movements and possibly find all the individuals who may have come in contact with a positive individual to encourage the possibly infected to get tested and seek treatment. Another main way, is to analyzable scholarly articles about COVID 19, and staying on top of thousands of articles to filter out false information. This speeds up the ability of scientists to go through thousands up to millions of articles to best find new avenues of treatment. By eliminating articles that have flawed data collection methods, and false results, we can better find the ways that are best suited for research. This frees up scientists time to work on their own tests and research. It is also imperative to eliminate false articles that are maliciously put on the internet. However, this is not the terminator coming to save humanity. It purely is for helping expedite research and finding better treatments.
