People's anxiety about the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) is increasing.

In the midst of this, a domestic AI startup Persona System is attracting attention by launching an 'AI-based coronavirus detour finding service' for all citizens for free.

The service uses AI technology to find destinations by bypassing high-risk coronavirus outbreak areas. The website was paralyzed at one time as the service started and became known through YouTube and SNS, but now the service is running smoothly.

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19), which originated in Wuhan, China in December 2019, is spreading around the world with respiratory symptoms such as coughing and shortness of breath and pneumonia as the main symptoms. There are a total of 44,653 confirmed cases. As 28 confirmed cases were confirmed in Korea, there was a nationwide mask riot as a result.

Persona System, as a designated company for innovative financial services by the Financial Services Commission, is conducting an AI insurance robotics business that unmanned insurance consultations and subscriptions through InsurTech.

A persona system official said, "There was a service that allowed you to see the movement of confirmed patients, but I thought that it would be helpful to prevent infection if there is a service that can bypass high-risk places." "I hope I can be of some help to the people who are suffering. I don't know how, but if necessary, I will provide it to the relevant government departments for free."

The 'AI-based coronavirus bypass route finding service' can be used by searching for 'AI Corona' on KakaoTalk.
