While these technological advances are promising, experts caution that AI is not a standalone solution. Maksim and Dr. Subbarao acknowledge that AI cannot replace the expertise and crucial role of frontline scientists and healthcare professionals. The development of vaccines and treatments remains dependent on human ingenuity, with AI serving as an enhancer of their work.
The strength of this approach lies in complementing human effort, helping scientists manage information overload, and speeding up the discovery process. As Dr. Subbarao emphasizes, AI can empower professionals to work more efficiently, especially in a rapidly spreading pandemic where time is of the essence.
