Wow, this is interesting. Some companies are having trouble with AI algorithms being unable to adapt to the rapid swings observed because of Coronavirus. The cause? Often times, AI is bought from an external specialist who builds it, and the operator has no knowledge on how to maintain it. The models are only trained on somewhat bad day scenarios, but not absolute disasters. It therefore takes a data scientist to intervene and connect algorithms with real-world events.
