The Critical Impact of AI: A Case Study on Child Victimization
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Artificial Intelligence
Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming various sectors, including child protection services. While AI has the potential to aid in identifying and preventing child victimization, it also poses ethical and legal challenges. This paper examines the critical impact of AI in child victimization cases, exploring its benefits, risks, and implications for policymakers. The study further delves into ethical considerations, AI biases, and future trends in AI-driven child protection.
Keywords
Artificial Intelligence, Child Victimization, Online Exploitation, AI Ethics, Digital Safety, Technological Abuse.
