AI in Pediatric Healthcare: Innovations and Ethical Considerations

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers innovative solutions to the unique challenges of pediatric healthcare. This paper explores AI applications in diagnosing and treating pediatric conditions, from congenital disorders to developmental delays. We review case studies where AI has improved diagnostic accuracy, treatment outcomes, and personalized care for children. Ethical considerations, including data privacy, informed consent, and the potential for algorithmic bias, are critically examined. The paper concludes with recommendations for research and policy development to ensure the responsible and effective use of AI in pediatric healthcare.
