Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that deals with the problem-solving by the aid of symbolic programming. The use of artificial intelligence in pharmaceutical technology has increased over the years. It has greatly evolved into a science of problem-solving with huge applications in business, health care and engineering. The major advantage of AI is that it reduces the time and, in turn, reduces the costs that are associated with health care, enhances the returns on investment and may even cause a decrease in cost for the end-user. A large number of researches are being carried out to improve the current available AI technology. As the coronavirus outbreak continues to spread across the globe, researchers are looking to use artificial intelligence as a way of addressing the challenges of the virus. The present chapter briefly describes the importance of AI in combating COVID 19 and then looks at the various AI tools that are available.
