This paper presents a comprehensive review of AI-enhanced OFS technologies, encompassing both localized sensors such as fiber Bragg gratings (FBG), Fabry–Perot (FP) interferometers, and Mach–Zehnder interferometers (MZI), and distributed sensing systems based on Rayleigh . The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with optical fiber sensing (OFS) is transforming the capabilities of modern sensing systems, enabling smarter, more adaptive, and higher-performance solutions across diverse applications. In 2023, researchers turned submarine cables into earthquake warning systems and gave electric vehicles "optical nerves" to prevent battery failures.
