Abstract

The novel pathogen Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the cause of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), has created a global crisis Currently, the limits of public health systems and medical knowhow have been exposed COVID-19 has challenged our best minds, forcing them to return to the drawing board Fear of infection leading to possible life-long morbidity or death has embedded itself in the collective imagination leading to both altruistic and maladaptive behaviours Although, COVID-19 has been a global concern, its advent is a defining moment for artificial intelligence Medicorobots have been increasingly used in hospitals during the last twenty years Their various applications have included logistic support, feeding, nursing support and surface disinfection In this article we examine how COVID-19 is reframing technology/human interactions via medicorobots, and the future implications of this relationship In the last section we predict possible developments in artificial intelligence and how they may benefit future humanity in medicine
