Audio-based AI classifiers show no evidence of improved COVID-19 screening over simple symptoms checkers (2024)
Journal Article
Coppock, H., Nicholson, G., Kiskin, I., Koutra, V., Baker, K., Budd, J., …Holmes, C. (2024). Audio-based AI classifiers show no evidence of improved COVID-19 screening over simple symptoms checkers. Nature Machine Intelligence, 6, 229-242. https://doi.org/10.1038/s42256-023-00773-8

Recent work has reported that respiratory audio-trained AI classifiers can accurately predict SARS-CoV-2 infection status. However, it has not yet been determined whether such model performance is driven by latent audio biomarkers with true causal li...
