Google provides researchers with free comprehensive coronavirus dataset
One way scientists and researchers try to understand and find a solution to the coronavirus is to build AI models. To further this endeavor, Google Cloud provides researchers with free information within the COVID-19 Public Dataset program.
Last night, the company revealed an open archive of coronavirus-related databases, including those from the Johns Hopkins Systems Science and Engineering Center (JHU CSSE), World Bank Global Health Information, and OpenStreetMap information.

All of these free databases have a COVID-19 label for differentiation and ease of use. they will be freely available until September 15.
Researchers can also use BigQuery ML to build advanced AI models for COVID-19 research. BigQuery ML is a Google service that allows programmers to build and implement machine learning models using simple SQL queries in enterprise cloud storage.
The current pandemic has prompted AI researchers and companies to help set up treatment plans. Last month, Chinese technology giants Baidu and Alibaba unveiled various models for AI researchers to speed up the coronavirus-related research process. Earlier this month, the Allen Institute of the Allen Institute collaborated with several research teams to produce CORD-19 open data, which provided thousands of disease-related research papers and articles for free.
