As we face even more uncertain times, with the resurfacing of the deadly Ebola virus in Guinea, the detection of the first bird to human transmission of Avian Flu in Russia, and closer home, newer and far more infectious strains of Coronavirus being reported, AI has helped us in being a bit more prepared and cautious as we have our eyes peeled for news around the viruses and how they may affect our personal and social life, once again. The developing news of these viruses has put the spotlight back on healthcare.
In our blogposts this month we see how AI is revolutionizing healthcare, particularly via contact tracing which had proven extremely helpful in the initial outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic. We got into an insightful tête-à-tête on AI with Jeff Jarvis, an early AI investor. We believe you will find excerpts from this conversation useful in bringing AI to your daily life as well. On a fun and lighter note, we explore how AI will change the future of love. Singles, be ready to mingle with a twist! And finally, a surprise post will bring us all back to the elephant in the room – mental healthcare, that needs to be taken more seriously in the light of Covid-19 and dealt with intelligently. AI comes to the rescue in an unprecedented turn as mental healthcare professionals cannot possibly cater to all patients as the numbers have been truly underwhelming due to the pandemic.
With this edition of the newsletter we bring to you:
Four Ways In Which AI Will Revolutionize Healthcare
When India was facing the first wave of Covid cases, we at IA worked with 30 municipalities across the country for Covid-19 Contact Tracing. We tracked over 14,750 Hotspots continuously, across 23 states in India. Now that we are facing a surge in the number of cases, AI is the need of the hour and is poised to revolutionise the healthcare industry as we know it today. In this post, we look at Four Ways In Which AI Will Revolutionize Healthcare - Infinite Analytics
The Story of Data - With Jeff Jarvis
Jeff Jarvis is a US based journalist, professor, and an investor for over five decades. On his blog, Buzzmachine.com, the NYC insider tracks new media developments. Author of the hugely relevant, eye opening, and thought-provoking book, ‘What Would Google Do?’, Jarvis in his last book, Gutenberg the Geek, debated if Johannes Gutenberg was actually ‘the world's first technology entrepreneur’. Team Infinite Analytics got talking to Jarvis about AI, privacy, and more, in our monthly column The Story of Data.
So much seriousness around us, we took a pause and rustled up a fun post Ahoy: The Future of Love With Artificial Intelligence. We examine, how does AI play a match maker. Gone are the days of platforms like Orkut (ahem!), Facebook, and Hike! We look at apps like Badoo, a London-based dating app which uses facial recognition tech to find matches. So, if you want an Angelina Jolie or a George Clooney look alike, look no further! AI is by your side.
Bonus Post: Four Ways in Which AI can Help Make Mental Healthcare More Accessible
2020 was generally harsh on people and on the mental health of people worldwide, in particular. Depression, anxiety, and fear were paramount. Help is just an App away, only if you knew! Help is pivotal to the welfare of patients who need support to maintain their mental health. Artificial intelligence has been put to use widely in the last year for a wide range of such individuals — Those who were stuck in isolation wards as a direct impact of the pandemic, those who could no longer reach out to friends in workplaces due to the new normal work-from-home scenario, those who required clinical help but were hesitant to approach a specialist, et al. We look at a range of apps that are making a difference .There is a huge loss of productivity due to down time because of distress, anxiety, depression, and other states of being. To ensure that organizations work at optimum level and profits are more and productivity is high, investing in data science for mental health is a winning bet. IA is committed to ensuring health and wellness for all the consumers out there and believes that if you know better, you do better.

Video editing and film-making
If you have ever been in the business of video editing, especially when a famous celebrity was involved, and no matter how much you try to salvage the video, you cannot; deepfakes will help with that clip and your video will be made uninterrupted. Earlier, movie directors would spend millions on creating the perfect location for their movies. This is now achievable with a far lesser sum using deepfake and AI. Deepfakes can be real game-changers in film-making. Imagine new movies starring Charlie Chaplin opening to full houses. This, ofcourse, after all the copyright issues are taken into consideration..
