AI Models Show Promise for Predicting Future Pandemics

A new Nature study explores how artificial intelligence is transforming infectious disease modeling and prediction. Researchers found that AI-driven approaches can significantly improve outbreak forecasting and pathogen analysis. However, the study emphasizes that continued success depends on increased data transparency and reduced training costs. AI models have shown potential to accelerate epidemiological insights, support public health decision-making, and enhance genomic analysis of pathogens.
