Due to the advantages offered by AI in containment the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of AI techniques has increased greatly. Although these techniques provide an acceptable start to COVID-19 pandemic control, they differ in terms of purpose, AI synthesis methods, datasets, validation approach. This increase and diversity in the numbers of proposed AI techniques can confuse decision makers and lead them to the dilemma of what is the appropriate technique under the specific conditions. Yet, studies that assess, analyze, and summarize the unresolved problems and shortcomings of current AI techniques for COVID-19 are limited. In the existing review studies, only individual parts of AI techniques, rarely the full solution, are reviewed and examined. Thus, this study aims to present a comprehensive systematic review on the application of AI techniques in containment the COVID-19 pandemic. The applied search strategy led to include 73 papers related to the Application of AI techniques for COVID-19 published from December 2019 to May 2020. Ten applications of AI for containment COVID-19 were identified. In addition, the analysis results of the systematic review revealed five deficiencies so that future research should take them into consideration.
