The International Academic Map of AI Researches——Situation and Trend Exploration Based on WOS Database

This paper analyzed 65,280 AI research papers from Web of Science (WOS), focusing on the top 20% (13,056 papers) by citation frequency. Using bibliometric and knowledge graph analysis with CiteSpace software, along with Excel, SPSS, and other tools, it explored global AI research trends. Findings suggest a stable, expansive network of AI research globally, with increasingly practical hot spots and expanding interdisciplinary scope. However, there’s a noted trend towards technological monopoly due to high research costs.
