UNSTRUCTURED In the resent decade, emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain Technology, Cloud Computing , Internet of Things (IoT), etc., have changed people life a lot (in terms of living). Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been applied widely in our daily lives in a variety of ways with numerous successful stories. AI has also contributed to dealing with the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, which is currently happening around the globe.We touch on a number of areas where AI plays as an essential component, from medical image processing, data analytics, text mining and natural language processing, the Internet of Things, to computational biology and medicine. For this, a summary of COVID-19 related data sources that are available for research purposes (for future researchers) is also presented.For that, all the tools, resources and datasets needed to facilitate AI research are also been reviewed. Also discussed about Machine Learning use cases for Drug Formulations, Treatment of Patients Suffering with COVID-19, how Artificial Intelligence and internet of things can be useful to develop Cost- effective and Rapid Point-of-Care Diagnostics. For example, uses of Internet of Medical Things for Smart Healthcare (primary focus on detecting COVID-19 symptoms, and alerts for other users) have been discussed in this work. In summary, this work providesuseful information about (potential of) AI methods, machine learning, internet of things, used in many applications like Medicare, COVID-19 outbreak and summarizes several critical roles of Artificial Intelligence (including machine learning and internet of things) research in this unprecedented battle.We also discuss several future Research directions, global impact of corona on internet of things and many applications. It is envisaged that this work will provide AI, and ML researchers and the wider community an overview of the current status of AI and ML applications and motivate researchers in harnessing AI potentials in the fight against COVID-19.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been applied widely in our daily lives in a variety of ways with numerous successful stories. AI has also contributed to dealing with the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, which has been happening around the globe. This paper presents a survey of AI methods being used in various applications in the fight against the COVID-19 outbreak and outlines the crucial roles of AI research in this unprecedented battle. We touch on a number of areas where AI plays as an essential component, from medical image processing, data analytics, text mining and natural language processing, the Internet of Things, to computational biology and medicine. A summary of COVID-19 related data sources that are available for research purposes is also presented. Research directions on exploring the potentials of AI and enhancing its capabilities and power in the battle are thoroughly discussed. We highlight 13 groups of problems related to the COVID-19 pandemic and point out promising AI methods and tools that can be used to solve those problems. It is envisaged that this study will provide AI researchers and the wider community an overview of the current status of AI applications and motivate researchers in harnessing AI potentials in the fight against COVID-19.

In recent years, news media has been greatly disrupted by the potential of technologically driven approaches in the creation, production, and distribution of news products and services. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged from the realm of science fiction and has become a very real tool that can aid society in addressing many issues, including the challenges faced by the news industry. The ubiquity of computing has become apparent and has demonstrated the different approaches that can be achieved using AI. We analyzed the news industry’s AI adoption based on the seven subfields of AI: (i) machine learning; (ii) computer vision (CV); (iii) speech recognition; (iv) natural language processing (NLP); (v) planning, scheduling, and optimization; (vi) expert systems; and (vii) robotics. Our findings suggest that three subfields are being developed more in the news media: machine learning, computer vision, as well as planning, scheduling, and optimization. Other areas have not been fully deployed in the journalistic field. Most AI news projects rely on funds from tech companies such as Google. This limits AI’s potential to a small number of players in the news industry. We make conclusions by providing examples of how these subfields are being developed in journalism and present an agenda for future research.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has severely affected the healthcare infrastructure. The limitations of conventional healthcare urge the use of the digital technologies to lessen the overall load on the healthcare infrastructure and assist healthcare workers/staff. This chapter focuses on digital technologies to enable smart healthcare solutions to sustain and improve health services. The chapter focuses on two main driving technologies (internet of things [IoT] and artificial intelligence [AI]), pioneering automation and digitalization of healthcare. The enabling technologies possess the potential to transform the healthcare with emergence of new and novel research directions to realize and address healthcare needs. Therefore, it is essential to focus on key driving and complementing technologies to establish multidisciplinary research solutions with cross-platform design coupled with translational learning to unlock the potentials of next generation healthcare.

In recent years, news media have been hugely disrupted by the potential of technological-driven approaches in the creation, production, and distribution of news products and services. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged from the realm of science fiction and has become a very real tool that can aid society in addressing many issues, including the challenges faced by the news industry. The ubiquity of computing has become apparent and has shown the different approaches that can be achieved using AI. We analyzed the news industry AI adoption based on the seven subfields emanated from AI: (i) machine learning; (ii) computer vision (CV); (iii) speech recognition; (iv) natural language processing (NLP); (v) planning, scheduling, and optimization; (vi) expert systems; and (vii) robotics. Our findings suggest that three subfields are being more developed in the news media: machine learning, planning, scheduling & optimization, and computer vision. Other areas are still not fully deployed in the journalistic field. Most of the AI news projects rely on funds from tech companies, such as Google. This limits the potential of AI in the news industry to a small number of players. We conclude by providing examples of how these subfields are being developed in journalism and present an agenda for future research.

Chatbots are intelligent conversational computer systems designed to mimic human conversation to enable automated online guidance and support. The increased benefits of chatbots led to their wide adoption by many industries in order to provide virtual assistance to customers. Chatbots utilise methods and algorithms from two Artificial Intelligence domains: Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning. However, there are many challenges and limitations in their application. In this survey we review recent advances on chatbots, where Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language processing are used. We highlight the main challenges and limitations of current work and make recommendations for future research investigation.
