Artificial Intelligence Integration in Global Social Science Research: A Metric Analysis

Abstract

This scientometric study analyzes the integration and impact of AI in global and Indian social science research from 2014 to 2023 using the Scopus database. Major outcomes identify China, the United States, and India as main contributors, with significant contributions from organizations such as Symbiosis International. The study found a considerable rise in AI related publications, mostly in conference papers and journals. Major authors such as Yogesh K. Dwivedi have significant citation impacts, highlighting the importance of collaboration with other authors. The study concludes that although artificial intelligence (AI) has enormous social and economic benefits, it also has drawbacks like unfairness and unemployment, thus it is necessary to balance the application of AI.
