This paper provides a comprehensive survey of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled MA techniques, emphasizing their roles in Spectrum Sensing (SS), Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA), user scheduling, interference mitigation, and protocol adaptation. In particular, we systematically analyze the progression of traditional and modern MA schemes, from Orthogonal Multiple Access (OMA)-based approaches like Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) and Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) to advanced Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) methods, including power domain-NOMA, Sparse Code Multiple Access (SCMA), and Rate Splitting Multiple Access (RSMA). The study further categorizes AI techniques—such as Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL), Reinforcement Learning (RL), Federated Learning (FL), and Explainable AI (XAI)—and maps them to practical challenges in Dynamic Spectrum Management (DSM), protocol optimization, and real-time distributed decision-making. Optimization strategies, including metaheuristics and multi-agent learning frameworks, are reviewed to illustrate the potential of AI in enhancing energy efficiency, system responsiveness, and cross-layer RA. Additionally, the review addresses security, privacy, and trust concerns, highlighting solutions like privacy-preserving ML, FL, and XAI in 6G and beyond. By identifying research gaps, challenges, and future directions, this work offers a structured resource for researchers and practitioners aiming to integrate AI into 6G MA systems for intelligent, scalable, and secure wireless communications.展开更多
