Researchers from MIT used algorithms they had been developing to detect Alzheimer’s disease
Artificial intelligence is able to distinguish between people who have the coronavirus simply by their coughs.
The difference between cough from someone with coronavirus and a healthy one is something not discernable to the human ear, but is able to be heard by a machine learning algorithm.
Researchers from MIT took thousands of samples of coughs and spoken words to train the artificial intelligence, which is now able to detect those with COVID-19 with 98.5 per cent accuracy.
