Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), the globally recognized technology and innovation leader has developed a model that predicts the progression of the medical status of COVID-19 patients with artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and machine learning technologies. The AI-based model was built utilizing data from the Sheba Medical Center’s cloud database.
The predictive capabilities can alert medical staff on the possible deterioration in the patient’s condition, thus enhancing patient care and flagging the cases with higher chances of medical escalation and significantly improving the patient outcome. The model was developed by researchers and engineers ay IAI’s Innovation Center in the company’s Systems Missiles and Space Group.

According to Artificial Intelligence World Society Innovation Network (AIWS.net), AI can be an important technology and a potential tool for COVID-19 prediction. In this effort, Michael Dukakis Institute for Leadership and Innovation (MDI) invites participation and collaboration with think tanks, universities, non-profits, firms, and other entities that share its commitment to the constructive and development of full-scale AI for world society.

As a part of the History of AI, the AIWS House organizes talks, seminars about pioneering ideas, concepts, methodologies, products, historical figures, events, achievements in AI, and presents them in the AIWS House Online, and physics.
On June 6, 2020, as an event of AIWS House, the History of AI, Cheryl Misak, a University Professor and Professor of Philosophy at the University of Toronto talked “Frank Ramsey: A Sheer Excess of
Powers”. The History of AI at AIWS.net sees Frank Ramsey as an AI figure in history, who has indirect influence on AI, especially in causal inference.
Professor Nazli Choucri, MIT, Member of the History of AI Board, Michael Dukakis Institute Board, co-founder of AIWS.net, co-author of the Social Contract 2020, a New Social Contract in the Age of AI, presented the opening remarks at this event. She introduced the History of AI and AIWS House.

On June 6, 2020, The History of AI, a part of Michael Dukakis Institute for Leadership and Innovation, posted content of the AI Chronicle on AI World Society Network (AIWS.net). This content is the AI Chronicle – Open to Feedback: we encourage to receive comments, feedbacks from today June 6, 2020 to June 27, 2020, then the History of AI Board will review, approve and the AI Chronicle – Official will be posted on July 1, 2020. The History of AI Board will review the AI Chronicle biannually. Our approach is open-ended: based on our findings, we will develop research with the History of AI’s criteria, and we are open to inviting individuals and organizations to contribute or comment to the project by gathering documents, stories and participating in analysis.

Artificial intelligence, or AI, has grown increasingly popular for its ability to process large sets of data. The term “AI” describes algorithms that can be taught to identify patterns or predict outcomes. If the algorithm is primed with a teaching set of data, then it can evaluate new sets of data based on the desired outcome. AI has been used to process patient data, biometric data, facial recognition data and geolocation data by various industries. However, it has fallen prey to criticism for potentially biased results and alleged invasion of user privacy.
Now, AI industry leaders are applying their technology to new issues raised by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Results show that AI can aid in combating COVID-19 and improve our response to future pandemics. However, to reach AI’s full potential in a health crisis, access to vast quantities of patient data is necessary. This article explores the benefits and risks of a regulatory framework allowing temporary access to patient data for the purpose of combating a global pandemic.

Regarding to AI impact for world society matter and global healthcare especially during COVID-19 pandemic, the Michael Dukakis Institute for Leadership and Innovation (MDI) established the Artificial Intelligence World Society Innovation Network (AIWS.net) for helping people achieve well-being and happiness, relieve them of resource constraints and arbitrary/inflexible rules and processes, and solve important issues, such as SDGs.

Dominic Cummings has promised to revolutionise the civil service. On his much-discussed and semi-comprehensible blog, Boris Johnson’s consigliere has put out the word: out with the smug Oxbridge mandarins, in with the brilliant weirdos, misfits, data dorks and software gurus.
Those hoping to join Cummings’s Whitehall brains trust are firmly encouraged to familiarise themselves with the work of one Judea Pearl, an Israeli-American computer scientist.
Cummings has blogged repeatedly about Pearl, calling him “one of the most important scholars in the field of causal reasoning”. This is a rare understatement: the 83-year-old is closer to a pioneer.
“I commend him for reading my book. He has good judgment,” says Pearl in a thick Polish-Israeli accent.
The original article can be found here.
In the field of causal reasoning, Professor Judea Pearl is a pioneer for developing a theory of causal and counterfactual inference based on structural models. In 2011, Professor Pearl also received the Turing award from Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), which is the highest distinction in computer science, “for fundamental contributions to artificial intelligence through the development of a calculus for probabilistic and causal reasoning”. In 2020, Professor Pearl is also awarded as World Leader in AI World Society (AIWS.net) by Michael Dukakis Institute for Leadership and Innovation (MDI) and Boston Global Forum (BGF).
