INTRODUCTION/ BACKGROUND AI's Role: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping personalized nutrition and microbial health by analyzing vast amounts of biological data to tailor health solutions (Alsulimani et al., 2024). Chronic Disease Management: AI can help address chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases by enabling more accurate predictions, personalized diets, and lifestyle recommendations (Kurniawan et al., 2024; Liu et al., 2020). Challenges: Despite its promise, AI faces challenges such as data privacy concerns, the need for high- quality datasets, and the risk of algorithmic biases that could affect healthcare equity (Celi et al., 2022) Figure 1: AI's Role in Personalised Nutrition and Microbial Health

AI IN PERSONALISED NUTRITION Tailored Diets: Personalized nutrition focuses on 4 creating diet plans based on individual genetics, metabolism, and gut microbiome, ensuring better health outcomes by meeting the unique nutritional needs of each person (Simon et al., 2023) AI Technologies: AI uses machine learning algorithms to analyze genetic data, dietary habits, and health metrics. These technologies allow real-time adjustments to health recommendations, optimizing nutrition based on changing conditions (Barberis et al., 2022; Buch et al., 2023). Case Studies: Platforms like DNAfit, Lumen, and Nutrino use AI to provide tailored nutrition advice based on users' genetic information and metabolic response (Petti & Bojko, 2023; Lee et al., 2022).

AI IN MICROBIAL HEALTH Gut Microbiome s Role: The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism, immunity, 5 and disease development. Imbalances in the microbiome are linked to conditions such as obesity, autoimmune diseases, and gastrointestinal disorders (Burr et al., 2020) AI Applications: AI technologies analyze microbial data to identify patterns and predict potential health risks. These models can assist in diagnosing diseases earlier and in developing personalized treatments based on microbiome health (Saxena et al., 2024). Case Studies: Companies like Viome use AI to profile the microbiome suggest dietary recommendations to improve gut health (Branda & Scarpa, 2024 and personalized Figure 3: Human Gut Microbiome: Bacteria and Their Roles in Health

INTERSECTION OF PERSONALISED NUTRITION AND MICROBIAL HEALTH Diet and Microbiome: The food we consume 5 influences the composition of our gut microbiome, which, in turn, affects our metabolism, immunity, and overall health. A balanced microbiome is essential for optimal health (Toubal et al., 2020; Kurniawan et al., 2024). AI Integration: By combining AI-driven insights from personalized nutrition and microbiome health, we can create holistic health interventions that optimize diet and gut health together, improving both short- and long-term health outcomes (Barone et al., 2021; Vegesna, 2024).

PUBLIC HEALTH IMPLICATIONS Chronic Disease Prevention: AI-driven interventions in personalized nutrition and microbial health have 5 the potential to significantly reduce the incidence of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular conditions, globally (Mumtaz et al., 2023). Global Health Benefits: AI can improve public health outcomes and reduce the burden on healthcare systems (Saxena et al., 2024).

ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS AND CHALLENGES Data Privacy: As AI analyzes sensitive health data (e.g., genetic information and microbiome profiles), 5 ensuring the privacy and security of this data is crucial to maintaining public trust and complying with regulations like GDPR and HIPAA (Milani et al., 2023; Celi et al., 2022). Bias and Fairness: AI models must be designed to be fair and unbiased to avoid perpetuating health disparities. There is a need for diverse and representative datasets to train AI systems in a way that benefits all population groups equally (Chen et al., 2024; Goirand et al., 2021). Regulatory Frameworks: Clear regulatory guidelines are essential to ensure that AI applications in healthcare meet safety, ethical, and legal standards. Governments and organizations must collaborate to develop frameworks that govern AI s role in healthcare (Elendu et al., 2023; Kaur et al., 2020).

CONCLUSION AI s Transformative Potential: AI holds the potential to transform personalized nutrition and microbial 5 health, offering solutions that can optimize health outcomes at an individual and population level. Addressing Challenges: It is crucial to continue addressing challenges such as data privacy, fairness, and algorithmic biases to ensure AI s successful integration into healthcare. Future Research: Further research is needed to refine AI models, ensure ethical standards, and integrate these technologies effectively into healthcare systems worldwide.
