Abstract

The rapid development and implementation of new technologies can be lifesaving and serve to reduce the impact of disasters. When confronted with the unprecedented challenges posed by the COVID-19 viral pandemic, which emerged in China before spreading globally, the country had to mobilize all available resources, including expertise, knowledge, skills, technologies, material resources, and policies, to effectively address the crisis. Innovation plays a pivotal role during emergencies and crises by enabling quick problem-solving and adaptability to changing circumstances. The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the paramount importance of innovation. For example, the creation of drones for search and rescue operations and the utilization of data analytics to track and contain the spread of infectious diseases proved to be instrumental. The study also delved into the challenges China encountered when implementing Artificial Intelligence solutions to navigate the crisis.
