Blue Dot: Li Ka-Shing Backed AI-Powered Startup Warned About Wuhan Virus Before WHO Warning
With so much information floating around the world regarding the novel Coronavirus, it pays attention to focus and rely upon the best available information and data sources. One of the best sources of information regarding the novel Coronavirus has been coming from a Toronto startup company called BlueDot.
BlueDot is a company backed by Li Ka-Shing. BlueDot first alerted about the Wuhan virus on 31 December 2019, several days ahead of the actual US government and WHO warnings. BlueDot uses artificial intelligence (AI) and Big Data to track and predict the global spread of infectious diseases.
BlueDot has been accurately able to predict the spread of the Wuhan virus prior to WHO which is very impressive. BlueDot has also warned about the spread of the Wuhan virus to other major cities in Asia, including Bangkok, Seoul, Taipei, and Tokyo, which has also been proved correct.
