Abstract

Corona virus has affected the lives of people significantly due to its very high transmission rate. It is a serious threat to human beings. Therefore, it has become quite a challenge for governments, companies, researchers, and other health organizations for developing policies to reduce the effects of corona virus and developing its cure as soon as possible. Technologies, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), are playing a vital role in managing COVID-19 as it is capable of rapidly processing a large amount of data and analyzing it in no time. AI-based techniques such as machine learning, deep learning, etc. are being actively used by several nations for fighting against COVID-19. These techniques are already being used for diagnosing patients, drug discovery, awareness, training of doctors and support staff, etc. The aim of this study is to survey the available literature and present the role of AI in tackling COVID-19 all around the world. Further, it discusses various applications of AI such as diagnosing patients, tracking, monitoring patient’s health, discovering drugs, spreading awareness, etc. for fighting against the pandemic, and this study also identifies the approaches that are currently being proposed by the researcher for diagnosing COVID-19 patients using CT and X-ray images.
