Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative technology in digital marketing, enabling organizations to deliver personalized, efficient, and data-driven customer experiences. The increasing use of AI-powered tools such as chatbots, recommendation systems, predictive analytics, and automated customer support has significantly influenced the way consumers interact with brands in the digital environment. As consumer trust and brand perception play a crucial role in determining business success, understanding the impact of AI on these factors has become increasingly important. This study examines the role of Artificial Intelligence in shaping consumer trust and brand perception in digital marketing through a comprehensive review of existing literature and secondary data sources. The research adopts a descriptive and conceptual approach by analyzing scholarly articles, industry reports, and recent studies related to AI applications in marketing. The review identifies key dimensions of AI-driven marketing, including personalization, responsiveness, transparency, and customer engagement, that contribute to improved consumer experiences. The findings indicate that AI technologies positively influence consumer trust by providing relevant recommendations, timely responses, and customized interactions. Enhanced trust subsequently contributes to favorable brand perception, increased customer satisfaction, and stronger brand loyalty. However, concerns regarding data privacy, security, and ethical use of AI continue to influence consumer attitudes toward AI-enabled marketing practices. The study highlights that organizations that adopt transparent and responsible AI strategies are more likely to gain consumer confidence and establish a positive brand image. The study concludes that Artificial Intelligence serves as a strategic tool for strengthening consumer trust and enhancing brand perception in digital marketing. Effective and ethical implementation of AI can help organizations build sustainable customer relationships and achieve long-term competitive advantage in the evolving digital marketplace.
