Could artificial intelligence tools be used to stop the next pandemic before it starts?
During the Covid pandemic, new technology developed by researchers at Johns Hopkins and Duke universities didn’t exist. But, for the first time, researchers there say they’ve devised a revolutionary large language modeling tool - the type of generative AI used in ChatGP - to help predict the spread of any infectious disease, such as bird flu, monkeypox, and RSV. That could help save lives and reduce infections.
