Abstract:: Abstract: A worldwide pandemic of corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused great effects on global politics, economy, and other aspects. However, so far the virus signatures, mechanism of virus infection, epidemiology, clinical diagnosis and treatment of SARS-Cov-2 remain unclear. Furthermore, there is no vaccine or specific drug. Therefore, applying new techniques to realize the early diagnosis, isolation and treatment of COVID-19 patients is of great significance. Artificial intelligence, as a hot technology of research nowadays, has been widely used in various fields of clinical medicine. Herein the applications of artificial intelligence in fighting against COVID-19 pandemic, including radiological diagnosis, disease prediction, disease tracking and drug development, are summarized. This study can provide new clues for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19, and help medical staffs to better understand and utilize artificial intelligence technology.
