Abstract: Abstract This literature review article explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing airport security by automating threat analysis and identification processes. These advancements not only enhance security measures but also improve speed and accuracy. The capacity of AI to predict threats by analyzing vast passenger data helps identify potential risks. Balancing these breakthroughs are ethical and privacy concerns, stressing the importance of transparency and privacy protection to gain public trust. While AI systems’ reliability and accuracy are central to balancing security and passenger convenience, the future of airport security depends on the effective integration of AI technologies. Biometrics and other transformative safety measures are discussed, with the suggestion for further research on optimizing real-time authentication systems, studying various AI strategies, and enhancing AI-based intrusion detection systems to prepare for future threats. The article is targeted towards AI, cybersecurity, and airport security professionals and researchers. Policymakers and decision-makers in the aviation and transportation sectors may also find value in understanding the impact of AI on airport security, ethical considerations, and future trends and research directions.
