Recently, Dr. Ben Goertzel, CEO of SingularityNET convened the “COVID-19 Summit” to bring veterans in AI and Data Science researchers with epidemiologists, front-line doctors, and policymakers to look at how we handled the situation so far and what are the expectations going forward.

One of the main themes from this Summit was the need for complex systems models such as agent-based models to inform policy. During this pandemic, at times, every policymaker around the world felt they were going into this pandemic without the information that they needed, even though we’ve dealt with other outbreaks such as SARS, MERS, etc..

The combined power of artificial intelligence and agent-based models in a Complex Adaptive System can give policymakers eyes, ears, and additional intelligence that can add transparency to the decision making process.

Due to the technical nature of this topic, Dr. Deborah Duong, Director for AI Development at Rejuve and Director of Network Analytics at SingularityNET, gave a talk to explain the power of agent-based models combined with artificial intelligence, its usage, and the information it can provide policymakers and practical professionals in the field.
