The key to fighting viral infections is early detection and it was evident that our government and the international authorities focused all their efforts on quickly diagnosing COVID-19 using the latest cutting-edge technology. There were certain setbacks like the understanding that infection could not be contained or dealt with because we still lacked fundamental understanding and required more advanced diagnostic technology at every hospital and healthcare facility. Several steps must be taken when diagnosing a disease at the primary level, starting with locating and describing the microbe that is causing the specified infection, isolating the microbe, and analyzing its physical, biochemical, and molecular characteristics for a thorough prognosis of the disease/infection. Since there aren't enough resources to count all the rising test samples, the aforementioned stages might be daunting and perplexing.

There is no denying that RT-PCR is the most commonly used approach for COVID-19 identification, but when paired with AI, diagnosis has improved, both in terms of sensitivity and accuracy. The commonly used imaging modalities for COVID-19 infections are X-ray, CT (Computed Tomography), and USG (Ultra-sonogram). However, it is very intriguing to learn that all COVID-19 infection processes require direct or indirect human involvement and supervision, even when the most advanced diagnosis method is employed. This method falls short of the true spirit of advancement, which aims for everything to be automated and ready for human use without the need for human upkeep.

Artificial intelligence is now here. What does using AI for COVID-19 detection mean? A system that can be trained much like a human trainee but with higher efficiency, precision, and dependability is provided by AI. When a system is given access to a large enough database, it can learn to distinguish between a healthy individual and a COVID-19 sufferer. After the training time is over, the datasets are labeled to show a set of healthy and infected people so that the system can recognize and diagnose them on its own. Now that we are aware that humans make errors but that systems do not, we may sometimes evaluate the system's reliance on the dataset by the system and manhandling to see whether there is still a lack of confidence. In this manner, the prognosis of any number of test samples is possible, and the dependability of resources connected to people is either decreased or diminished. Though it is a little unsettling to consider that we might not require many people to diagnose a pandemic in the future (should one exist) or any other fascinating, common, or impending ailment or disease, it guarantees that we are prepared for a better and brighter future.

What claims to others is never recalled



What claim to science is often ignored



What suits the person is rather obeyed



What time demanded is often performed



Time is needed to learn and attain



Time is golden when knowledge pertains



Knowledge is key to the greater hold



The secrets are hidden behind the untold



Now comes the time, to gather unseen



To foster the human desire and needs



To push and raise insight,



that remain unknown



To gather the foe and fight them all



In the face of disease, deceit, and treachery



Of either a living or dead adversary



This calls for an uprising to a greater time



When Artificial intelligence is ruled by human minds"
