Abstract
In the age of artificial intelligence (AI), the question of the integrity and purity of halal products has grown more complicated and difficult. The authenticity of products consumed by consumers, particularly Muslims, is seriously questioned due to the lack of clarity surrounding the source of components, the rise in cross-border trade, and the manipulation of halal labeling. Over the past few decades, there has been a considerable increase in the demand for halal products worldwide due to a number of causes, including the growth of the Muslim population, consumer knowledge of halal requirements, and the expansion of halal markets outside food. As a result, the problems would not only erode customer trust but also jeopardize the nation's standing as a reliable centre for the worldwide halal business. Therefore, this study aims to explore the role of halal forensics as a scientific medium that supports transparency, justice and integrity in the halal verification system. The type of research used is qualitative research. This study uses content analysis methods by referring to published papers and authoritative sources related to the study. The expected findings are the integration of halal forensics and AI technology would help to improve the efficiency of halal monitoring in real-time, strengthen consumer trust, and position Malaysia as a leader in global halal innovation. This scientific approach in halal verification system would be able to support sharia in facing the technology of artificial intelligence. In conclusion, halal forensics is a demonstration of the nation's dedication to honesty, justice, and world peace in addition to being a technological verification tool. This aligns with the goal of creating a world-class nation that protects consumer rights and fosters interfaith and international cooperation.
