Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in material science engineering, significantly advancing both the discovery and optimization of materials. This review provides an understanding on AI technologies, which includes machine learning (ML), deep learning, and data-driven modeling, into material science research and applications. The paper explores how AI-driven methods have revolutionized the characterization, synthesis, and performance prediction of materials by leveraging vast datasets and complex algorithms to identify patterns and make informed predictions. Key applications discussed include the accelerated discovery of new materials, optimization of material properties through predictive modeling, and the enhancement of computational simulations. The review also highlights the encounters and limitations related with AI integration, such as data quality, model interpretability, and the need for interdisciplinary collaboration. This review highlights recent advancements and case studies, emphasizing AI's potential to drive innovation in material science engineering. It also outlines future research directions to address current challenges and fully leverage AI’s capabilities.
