"AI's Role in Predicting COVID's Future and Anticipating the Next Pandemic"
Scientists have developed an AI system called EVEscape that can predict alterations and mutations in viruses, including COVID-19, as they evolve. The system assigns a score to each variant, indicating its potential to evade immunity from prior infection and vaccination. EVEscape is currently being used to evaluate up-and-coming COVID variants and assist in pandemic planning. The tool has the potential to aid in the development of variant-proof vaccines and therapies. Additionally, it can be used to predict immune escape in other viruses with pandemic potential, such as Lassa and Nipah.
