According to ZD Net, artificial intelligence is still in need of human oversight. 

Artificial intelligence and machine learning models can work spectacularly -- until they don't. Then they tend to fail spectacularly. That's the lesson drawn from the COVID-19 crisis, as reported in MIT Technology Review. 

Natural language processing is being used by a team of researchers to help look through the massive amounts of data available on Covid-19, reports SciTechDaily.

A team of materials scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) – scientists who normally spend their time researching things like high-performance materials for thermoelectrics or battery cathodes – have built a text-mining tool in record time to help the global scientific community synthesize the mountain of scientific literature on COVID-19 being generated every day.

Artificial intelligence isn’t capable of weeding out misinformation on the internet, reports The Hill. 

More than 3 billion people–around 50 percent of the world’s population–engage with and post content online. Some of that content is misleading and potentially harmful, whether by design or as a side effect of its spread and manipulation.
