The document discusses the role of computing science in society. It provides 5 points on how computing science can directly meet societal needs, help create a more equitable world, empower overlooked groups, accelerate healthcare progress, and expand communication. Computing science can address issues like unemployment, poverty, and climate change. It can also level the playing field regarding gender, ethnicity, and background. Once tools to solve problems and generate revenue are widely available, it can equalize opportunities. Computing science also enhances and speeds progress in fields like healthcare. It allows people worldwide to communicate through applications like social media, chat, and video calls.

“Role Of Computing Science On Society”
1)It directly meets the needs.
Computer scientists could quickly get into direct applications which address
societal issues such as unemployment, poverty, climate change, and others.
Indeed, the needs that arise in the communities are being addressed by these
professionals. Also, there are now charities that could streamline their donations
or the crowdfunded campaigns which could gather a following and financial
banking too.

2)It also paves the way for a more equitable world.

Computer science can help level the playing field with regards to inexpensive
solutions. It could be a tool for societal rebalance regarding gender identity,
ethnicity, background and more.

3)Computer science can empower those who are often

overlooked.
Once the tools to build revenue and solve business problems are available to
almost everyone, it could level the playing field.

4)It could also accelerate the healthcare progress.

For the majority, healthcare seems to be a pretty high priority once considering
to improve lives. So, computer science has the power to enhance and accelerate
every other field, including the healthcare aspect.

5)Computer science can expand communication.

Through computer science, the whole world is now considered to be a tiny place
that could even be available right at your fingertips. We now have social media,
chatting and video calling apps along with other applications that could allow
you to share photos and documents with people almost all over the world.

“Role Of Computing On Covid-19”

AI tools can help in many different ways. They are being used to predict the spread
of the coronavirus, map its genetic evolution as it transmits from human to human,
speed up diagnosis, and in the development of potential treatments, while also
helping policymakers cope with related issues, such as the impact on transport,
food supplies and travel.

1)Identifying what’s working and what isn’t

The urgent need to understand what kinds of policy interventions are effective
against COVID-19 has driven various governments to quickly award research
grants to harness AI. One recipient is David Buckeridge, a professor in the
Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health at McGill
University in Montreal. Armed with a grant of C$500,000 (€323,000), his team is
combining natural language processing technology with machine learning tools,
such as neural networks (a set of algorithms designed to recognise patterns), to
analyse more than two million conventional media and social media reports about
the spread of the coronavirus from all over the world. “This is unstructured free
text – classical methods can’t deal with it,”Buckeridge said. “We want to extract a
timeline from online media, that shows systematically what’s working where.”

2)Unknown infections
AI can also be used to help identify individuals who might be unknowingly
infected with COVID-19. Chinese tech company Baidu says its new AI-enabled
infrared sensor system can monitor the temperature of people in the proximity and
quickly determine whether they may have a fever, one of the symptoms of the
coronavirus. In an 11 March article in the MIT Technology Review, Baidu said the
technology is “being used in Beijing’s Qinghe Railway Station to identify
passengers who are potentially infected, where it can examine up to 200 people in
one minute without disrupting passenger flow.” A report from the World Health
Organization on how China has responded to the coronavirus says the country has
also used big data and AI to strengthen contact tracing and the management of
priority populations.
