Abstract	Vocabulary acquisition plays an essential role in learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL), especially in contexts like Saudi Arabia where learners have limited exposure to English outside the classroom. In recent years , artificial intelligence (AI) tools have become more widely used to support vocabulary learning through interactive and personalized approaches. This study provides a focused systematic review of empirical research on the use of AI tools in EFL vocabulary learning, with particular attention to Saudi learners. It explores how these tools influence vocabulary outcomes, including retention , breadth, and depth of knowledge. The findings indicate that AI tools can enhance vocabulary development and increase learner motivation. However, some challenges remain , such as concerns about long term retention and the reduction of human interaction. Overall, the study emphasizes the need for a balanced and effective integration of AI tools within Saudi EFL classrooms.
