Could it be because AI is an overhyped rehash of the AI craze that swept academia and industry in the 1980s, only to collapse in the 'AI winter' as everyone realised the truth? We use AI/ML for trivial purposes right now. Multivariate statistical analysis beats AI in many domains. Covid is a real-world, grown-up problem. It isn't identifying pictures of cats, or creating obscene chatbots (remember Tay?). So AI has been shown up to be a duff non-solution.
