The convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and precision agriculture is reshaping farming practices worldwide. Plant disease detection, traditionally reliant on manual inspection and subjective assessment, now benefits from AI-enabled systems capable of early identification, predictive analytics, and resource optimisation. This paper critically examines AI-powered plant disease detection technologies, exploring their underlying principles, applications, measurable impacts, limitations, and future directions. Drawing from peer-reviewed studies, case analyses, and global deployment data, it highlights both the promise and pitfalls of these innovations in enhancing yields, conserving resources, and promoting sustainable agriculture. The discussion integrates global perspectives, ethical concerns, and infrastructural challenges, emphasising multi-stakeholder collaboration as essential for equitable adoption. The findings suggest that AI systems can reduce crop losses by up to 50%, increase yields by 30–70%, and cut water use by nearly 40–50%. However, affordability, algorithmic bias, and data privacy remain critical barriers.
