Can AI Detect COVID From Your Cough?

The video discusses a recent MIT paper on using AI to diagnose COVID-19 through cough recordings. The AI model, initially developed for Alzheimer's, uses biomarkers to differentiate between COVID-19 positive and negative cases. The model shows high accuracy, especially in asymptomatic cases. Data collection involved diverse participants, but challenges remain, such as the naturalness of forced coughs and ethical concerns about surveillance. The authors are conducting clinical trials and collaborating with hospitals and companies to validate and expand the model's use.
