Abstract : This paper explores fractal-based AI used to enhance neural networks for applying pattern recognition. Neural networks that utilize fractals include self-similarity and hierarchical structures that allow the possibility of detecting complex patterns at multiple scales, making systems remarkably successful in use in fields such as medical image analysis, financial forecasting, environmental monitoring, and signal processing. The benefits of fractal-based networks for improved accuracy, scalability, and efficiency over other approaches are discussed, but challenges regarding computational demand and model interpretability are faced. Thus, this paper, through the review of incorporating fractal principles into artificial intelligence, brings out the possibility of revolutionizing industries based on sophisticated analyses of data and pattern recognition. The paper concludes with the potential avenues for future research involving hybrid algorithm refinement and new application domains for fractal- based neural networks.

Keywords : Fractal-Based AI, Neural Networks, and Pattern Recognition.
