Would appear to be very big thing if it works significantly, as it suggests below.
AI Predicts Asymptomatic Carriers of Covid-19
IEEE Spectrum, Emily Waltz, February 2, 2021
Researchers at technology company Synergies Intelligent Systems and Germany's Universität Hamburg have developed a machine learning algorithm that can identify which people in a moving crowd are most likely asymptomatic carriers of Covid-19. The continuous learning and inference of individual probability (CLIIP) algorithm bases its predictions on global positioning system (GPS)-tracked movement of people in a city, and known cases of infection. CLIIP's accuracy relies on people using a GPS-based smartphone application that tracks their location to within a meter (3.2 feet), and logging their positive viral test results. Synergies' Michael Chang said, "With this type of technology, we can quarantine a very small fraction of people—just 3% to 5%—and pretty effectively reduce the effect of the disease."
