Artificial Intelligence Applications in Horizon Scanning for Infectious Diseases
It contributes to public health preparedness by exploring AI's potential and limitations in identifying and responding to emerging infectious disease threats, though it is incremental as a review.
This review examines how artificial intelligence can enhance horizon scanning for infectious diseases by improving signal detection, data monitoring, scenario analysis, and decision support, while addressing risks and proposing implementation strategies.
This review explores the integration of Artificial Intelligence into Horizon Scanning, focusing on identifying and responding to emerging threats and opportunities linked to Infectious Diseases. We examine how AI tools can enhance signal detection, data monitoring, scenario analysis, and decision support. We also address the risks associated with AI adoption and propose strategies for effective implementation and governance. The findings contribute to the growing body of Foresight literature by demonstrating the potential and limitations of AI in Public Health preparedness.
