Child abuse is a major problem in most of the developing and developed countries. Medical practitioners and law enforcement authorities have often tried to tackle the problem using several conventional approaches. Nevertheless, there are other modern methods to screen, detect, and predict child abuse using artificial intelligence (AI). Therefore, this article aimed to critically review the currently available AI tools including data mining, computer-aided drawing systems, self-drawing tools, and neural networks used in child abuse screening.
