Widespread problem, governments, organizations, child labor, unthinkableAbstract
Child labor in hazardous jobs is a widespread problem, particularly in developing nations where the cycle is sustained by poverty, illiteracy, and lax enforcement of regulations. An estimated 79 million youngsters labor in dangerous jobs, putting them at risk for physical harm, long-term health problems, and even death, according to the International labor Organization (ILO). While conventional approaches to preventing child labor encounter obstacles including insufficient funding and dishonest
systems, artificial intelligence (AI) offers a novel and exciting way to address this issue. Governments, organizations, and activists can improve detection, prevention, and intervention efforts in previously unthinkable ways by utilizing AI technologies.
