The convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and the halal food industry represents a significant and transformative intersection, driven by the need to ensure the authenticity, safety, and compliance of halal food products in an increasingly complex global market. This review paper examines the applications, implications, and impact of AI technologies within the halal food sector. AI technologies, including machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing, and blockchain, are explored in the context of their contributions to addressing key challenges and opportunities. These technologies play a vital role in enhancing quality control, supply chain transparency, and consumer trust, and they offer solutions for the certification and monitoring of halal compliance. It further delves into examining how AI contributes to ensuring halal compliance, enhancing quality control, improving supply chain transparency, and fortifying consumer trust.
