However, lack of AI experts and slow digitization in emerging economies are the major factors restricting the AI in social media market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 on the AI in Social Media Market

The market has been positively impacted due to the outbreak of COVID-19. Several commercial enterprises, industries, and companies partially shut down their operations due to the imposition of lockdowns. The lockdowns in the region compelled people to work from home to mitigate the threat of COVID-19. By employing advanced technologies of AI and deep learning, social media was exploited to its full potential in tracking the spread of the virus. Owing to the lockdown imposed in several nations, a surge in social media activity is being noticed as majority of people are looking to social media for the latest updates on the virus. In this situation, social media influencers play a significant role in convincing people to exercise social distancing measures suggested by governments.

Therefore, social media and networks play a vital role during the COVID-19 outbreak by acting as a tracking tool, tackling misinformation hazards, making awareness through information hubs, and providing emotional aid during self-isolation. Therefore, by integrating technological advances in the health sector and social media platforms, we can efficiently contribute to health communication to combat the pandemic in a more prepared and organized way.
