Artificial Intelligence-Based Leveling System for Determining Severity Level of Autism Spectrum Disorder

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this research is to analyze the use of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based leveling system to determine the severity of autism spectrum disorders (ASD).

Methods: The research method is a systematic literature review. This study addresses three key questions: (i) What factors are used to determine ASD severity? (ii) What algorithms or AI models are used in classifying ASD severity? (iii) What are the results of this AI-based leveling system in terms of severity levels or categories?

Results: The study results identified several key factors that influence ASD severity, including age, IQ, genetic and neurological factors, co-occurring mental health conditions, and sociodemographic variables. Various AI algorithms, including machine learning and deep learning techniques, are used to classify the severity of ASD. The results of this study highlight the effectiveness of AI in providing objective, consistent, and measurable assessments of ASD severity, although challenges such as data quality and ethical considerations remain. AI-based leveling systems show significant potential in improving assessment and intervention processes for ASD.

Novelty: This research systematically synthesizes studies on AI-driven ASD severity assessment, providing insights into crucial variables for AI-based evaluation tools. By analyzing the factors influencing severity and the effectiveness of AI models, this study identifies promising approaches for classification. The findings offer valuable contributions to the development of AI-based tools in clinical and educational applications. Further research is necessary to improve AI reliability, address biases, and maximize its potential in ASD assessment and intervention.
