Chinese city applies AI to help with coronavirus prevention

Beijing: In recent days, many citizens in the Cangshan district of Fuzhou, capital of east China’s Fujian Province, received a series of calls. Over the phone, they were asked questions like “have you come into contact with confirmed coronavirus cases? Do you have symptoms like cough and fever?”

The phone calls are made by robots. In cooperation with China’s tech giant Baidu, the local government established the “Intelligent Cangshan” system. As the coronavirus outbreak continues, robots are introduced to make calls to help coronavirus prevention. (IANS)
