The impact of Covid-19 outbreak has become a matter of grave concern in India. The scarcity of resources to endure the epidemic outbreak combined with the fear of overburdened health care systems had forced many Indian states to go for a partial or complete lockdown. Stimulated by the need for employing Artificial Intelligence (AI) in battling Covid-19 crisis, this paper highlights the importance of AI in responding to the Covid-19 outbreak and curtail the severity of the disease. Artificial Intelligence (AI) aim is to open the door for human in the prediction of the novel Corona Virus disease. Researchers are in process of using AI in finding new drugs and medicines for Covid cure and focusing on detection and analysis of infectious patients, through AI based Machine learning (ML) Algorithms and Expert Systems. Owing to huge number of cases, Covid-19 remains a global health problem, Al could take individual conditions into account, produce suitable decisions and promise to make great strides in managing Corona Virus. We begin with an outline of AI, identify the various applications aimed at fighting the disease, then highlight the challenges and issues associated with the cutting edge solutions finally arriving on the recommendations for the communication to effectively control the Covid-19 crisis.
