        abstract = {The increasing use of digital communication has raised concerns about the security of sensitive information transmitted over networks. Steganography is a technique used to conceal secret data inside digital media such as images, audio, or video files. This paper presents the development of an AI Integrated Image Steganography Toolbox, a web-based system that allows users to hide and extract secret messages within digital images. The proposed system utilizes image processing techniques and steganographic algorithms such as the Least Significant Bit (LSB) method to embed secret messages into image pixels without significantly affecting visual quality. The toolbox provides a user-friendly interface where users can upload images, encode hidden messages, and later decode them when required. This approach enhances data security and enables secure communication over public networks.},
