Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly shaping pediatric spine care, leveraging its rapid advancements in healthcare to improve efficiency, accuracy, and disease understanding. Moreover, machine learning and deep learning excel at detecting complex patterns. This holds promise in processing spinal deformity data, with the potential to surpass traditional statistical methods in predictive accuracy. Challenges persist, however, including unclear clinical implementation guidelines, limited model transparency, and ethical concerns surrounding data privacy and bias. Small sample sizes and the need for larger, diverse datasets further complicate integration. In order to realize AI’s transformative potential in pediatric spine care, these critical obstacles must be addressed for effective and ethical clinical adoption. This review examines the role of AI through applications such as image sorting, surgical outcome prediction, forecasting of spinal curve progression, and vertebral volumetric analysis using deep reasoning. It also explores possible intraoperative contributions from AI, including robotics and optimized screw trajectory planning, and the potential of large language models in clinical practice.
