When humans were put to pause by this pandemic, artificial intelligence emerged as the only source to revive the off track day to day life of people and to make it work for essential commodities. This research paper deals with the uses of artificial intelligence in covid-19 pandemic. This study reveals how artificial intelligence has emerged as a platform to collect data, to analyze patients of covid-19 for making antidote of covid-19, diagnosis & prognosis, treatments & cure, etc. The data taken is both primary and secondary. Secondary data is collected from some research journals & other publications based on covid-19 available online. Primary data is my original self-analyzed data. This study reveals artificial intelligence & its uses in covid-19 pandemic. Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Covid-19, Coronavirus, Data Dashboards, Social Control. 1.1 Introduction Covid-19 or Coronavirus disease is caused by a virus named as SARS-CoV-2 virus. This deadliest disease was first identified in China in Dec, 2019 and was declared pandemic by WHO on 11 March, 2020. Artificial intelligence has emerged as the most potential & powerful tool for fighting against covid-19 all over the world. Artificial intelligence can be defined as computer vision, machine learning and natural language processing applications to teach computers the use of big data for pattern prediction, recognition & explanation. The various artificial intelligence functions are used to recognize (diagnose), explain (treat) and predict covid-19 infections/ outbreaks and help to manage socio-economic assertions. This article, hence, provides review of how artificial intelligence has worked potentially to control the impact of covid-19 and fight against it. This aims to provide a base for further research policy and medial analysis. The cost of this pandemic has been paid by humans in term of loss of lives and wealth and growth. The growth of world economies has been deteriorated due to this pandemic and artificial intelligence contributes a lot to test the people for covid-19, helps in its management, providing medical help through technology, etc. 1. Objectives of the Study 1. To find the impact of artificial intelligence against covid-19. 2. To study the use of artificial intelligence against covid-19. 3. To study the overall effect of artificial intelligence against covid-19. 2. Research Methodology The data taken is both primary and secondary. Secondary data is collected from some research journals & other publications based on covid-19 available online. Primary data is my original self-analyzed data. 3. Contributions & Uses of Artificial Intelligence against Covid-19 There have been 5 areas where Artificial intelligence has contributed to fight against covid-19 pandemic. These are as follows: (1)Early Warnings and Alerts Artificial intelligence has helped a lot to provide for early warnings and alerts to the whole world. Artificial intelligence based Canadian model “Bluedot” is considered legendary as it helps to detect infectious diseases in humans & their outbreaks. This model is a quite low cost model but has provided to be highly effective in covid-19 case. According to records, bluedot predicted the outbreak of covid-19 pandemic on 31 st Dec, 2019 before the WHO announced it on 9 th Jan, 2020. The researchers engaged with bluedot published a notice in the „Journal of Travel Medicine‟ in which they listed the top 20 plac es where the people of Wuhan would visit. They warned that these cities will be at forefront of the massive spread of this deadliest disease called coronavirus or covid-19. While bluedot announced about the pandemic on 31 st Dec, 2019, another
