AI and related technologies have been used for support in unique and innovative ways to enhance surveillance, monitoring, and detection capabilities of the coronavirus.

Earlier on in China for instance, as Reuters reported, authorities relied on facial recognition cameras to track a man from Hangzhou who had traveled to an affected area. Upon his return home, the local police traced and instructed him to self-quarantine or face repercussions.

In the United States, a surveillance company leverages its AI-enhanced thermal cameras to detect fevers, whereas, in Thailand, border officers at airports piloted a biometric screening system using fever-detecting cameras.

The application of AI has indeed played and will continue to play an important role in seizing the reins in this crisis, even safeguarding officers and medical practitioners from infections. It must, however, be noted that on its flip side, AI could just open a Pandora box and must, therefore, be explored with great caution.
