Bibliometric analysis of the evolution of artificial intelligence research applied to education

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a new technology that has the potential to revolutionize education by providing personalized learning experiences and enhancing many educational processes. This paper used a hermeneutic approach based on a mixed methodology to carry out a bibliometric analysis of the scientific publications indexed in the Scopus database, focusing on the keywords AI and Education, limiting the results to those publications categorized in the field of Social Sciences. The results reflect 3875 indexed Social Sciences documents proposing the integration of AI in Education. From the results obtained, it is possible to ratify the significant impact of artificial intelligence in the educational sector. The analysis facilitates implementing innovations in the classroom, whether working on skills and soft skills, developing educational theories, adapting AI systems to specific educational environments, and configuring social values.
