Artificial Intelligence Predicts When the COVID-19 Will End in the Philippines

A projection using A.I. (artificial intelligence) technology by the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) has predictions on when the coronavirus pandemic will end, reports Mashable SEA.

The projections are based on the use of A.I. technology and world data from Our World in Data which includes total confirmed cases, total deaths, new confirmed cases, new deaths, and population data. SUTD is able to project the infection curve and when the virus will end for a particular country using an A.I. algorithm.

The projections are based on a 97, 99, and 100 percent chance. For the Philippines, the algorithm predicts the virus will end on July 8 while Indonesia will recover only on July 30. Indonesia is one of the hardest hit countries by the pandemic in South East Asia. Vietnam, which has been able to curb infections, will be virus-free on May 14, according to the projection.

Singapore will have a 100 percent recovery on June 10 and Malaysia might see an end to the virus on July 8, according to the projections. Globally, the projection predicts the virus will be gone on December 1, 2020. These dates and figures are merely projections and doesn’t take into account other factors such as virus mutation and population movement.
