Abstract

Abstract Machine learning methods offer opportunities improve pandemic response and risk management by supplementing mechanistic modeling approaches to pandemic planning and response based on diverse sources of data at every level from the local to global scale. However, such solutions rely on the availability of appropriate data as well as communication and dissemination of that data to develop tools and guidance for decision making. A lack of consistency in the reporting and availability of disaggregated, detailed data on COVID-19 in the US has limited the application of artificial intelligence methods and the effectiveness of those methods for projecting the spread and subsequent impacts of this disease in communities. These limitations are missed opportunities for AI methods to make a positive contribution, and they introduce the possibility of inappropriate use of AI methods when not acknowledged. Going forward, governing bodies should develop data collection and sharing standards in collaboration with AI researchers and industry experts to facilitate preparedness for pandemics and other disasters in the future.

新冠肺炎阐明了更明确的基于人工智能的风险管理策略的必要性

摘要机器学习方法通过补充基于从地方到全球各级不同数据来源的流行病规划和应对机制建模方法，为改进流行病应对和风险管理提供了机会。然而，这种解决方案依赖于适当数据的可用性以及数据的交流和传播，以开发决策工具和指导。美国新冠肺炎分类详细数据的报告和可用性缺乏一致性，限制了人工智能方法的应用以及这些方法在预测该疾病在社区的传播和随后影响方面的有效性。这些限制错过了人工智能方法做出积极贡献的机会，并且在不被承认的情况下，它们引入了不适当使用人工智能方法的可能性。展望未来，理事机构应与人工智能研究人员和行业专家合作制定数据收集和共享标准，以便于为未来的流行病和其他灾害做好准备。
