Table 3: International research for AI in the healthcare response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has spurred an unprecedented acceleration in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), marking an era where technology has become inextricably intertwined with global healthcare strategy [24]. AI has emerged not just as a tool, but as a key protagonist in managing one of the most severe health crises of the century [25]. Amidst the tumultuous heart of the pandemic, AI took on a visionary role, leveraging advanced data mart architectures to make sense of previously unfathomable data flows [26]. It transformed raw information into lifesaving insights, improving real-time management and predicting critical conditions [27]. Early diagnosis emerged as a field where AI revolutionized response capabilities, turning radiological images and biological data into rapid and accurate diagnoses, thereby refining our lens through which we view and understand the virus [29], and accelerating the identification process for timely interventions [30]. In this context, the importance of AI in enhancing diagnostic accuracy through medical image analysis was further highlighted, providing healthcare professionals with advanced tools for rapid and precise diagnosis, crucial for timely and effective treatment of COVID-19 patients [28]. Beyond diagnosis, AI served as an architect of the future, modeling the virus's spread with sophisticated predictive models [31], not just as a technical demonstration but as a beacon of hope, providing tools to anticipate and mitigate the virus's impact [32]. With each prediction and simulation, AI has contributed to building a future where humanity is one step ahead of the virus, not a step behind [33]. However, the adoption of AI has not been without obstacles. It has raised complex and pressing issues regarding privacy, ethics, and governance [34]. These challenges were not mere hurdles but pivotal moments of reflection, pushing the global community to consider not just the power of AI but also the wisdom with which it is utilized [35]. In these debates, AI has been at the center of a broader conversation about how technology should be governed in an increasingly digital and interconnected world [36]. Therefore, this collection of studies is not just a set of research; it narrates a collective struggle and renewed hope. It illustrates a journey where AI has evolved from a futuristic concept to a daily ally, showing that even in the darkest
