Technological advancements consistently seek opportunities to optimize and enhance the performance of existing processes. They help restructure systems, making them more resilient and transformative. Among emerging technologies, artificial intelligence is playing a vital role in strengthening existing systems across almost every sector. In particular, enabling AI with blockchain in supply chain management has attracted outreach attention, as it enhances transparency, security, and efficiency while simultaneously reducing operational costs. Integrating AI into supply chains enables decentralized, real-time traceability and provides end-to-end visibility for all stakeholders. This integration enhances transparency, supports fraud detection, prevents counterfeiting, and ensures compliance with quality standards. A systematic and strategic implementation of AI ensures efficient problem-solving capabilities while addressing existing challenges. This paper critically examines the AI-enabled blockchain in supply chain management to enhance robustness and reliability. The adoption of AI not only reduces active costs but also expands automation and streamlines complex processes such as dispute resolution, payment processing, and inventory management. Furthermore, it is continuously reshaping industry standards, driving efforts toward creating a modern, efficient, reliable, and transparent ecosystem. This technological advancement plays a crucial role across all sectors and holds equal significance in both developing and developed countries. It fosters
