AI Analysis

This work addresses the need for impact assessment of COVID-19 interventions for policymakers and researchers, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing calculators without introducing new methods.

This paper tackles the problem of quantifying the socio-economic impact of COVID-19 by developing a calculator that measures the positive effects of an AI/ML pre-screening solution in the U.S., using existing data and calculators to synthesize results.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a scourge upon humanity, claiming the lives of more than 5.1 million people worldwide; the global economy contracted by 3.5% in 2020. This paper presents a COVID-19 calculator, synthesizing existing published calculators and data points, to measure the positive U.S. socio-economic impact of a COVID-19 AI/ML pre-screening solution (algorithm & application).
