While not directly focused on AI, the CDC's ongoing embrace of data-driven technologies—including machine learning and predictive analytics—demonstrates the growing role of AI in public health. According to CDC publications, AI-driven systems are increasingly used for epidemic modeling, early outbreak detection, and optimizing resource allocation, offering substantial business opportunities for AI companies developing health-focused solutions.
