Abstract

21. yüzyılın gerçeklerinin başında yapay zeka teknolojisi gelmektedir. Hemen her alanda kullanım imkanı bulan yapay zeka, insan hayatının büyük bir bölümünde etkin olmaktadır. Büyük sermayelerin harcandığı ve ülkeler arası rekabetin temel unsurlarından biri haline gelen yapay zeka üzerine birçok alanda akademik çalışmalar yapılmaya başlanmıştır. Mühendislik ve fen bilimlerinin ilgi alanında çok defa ilgi gören yapay zekanın, son yıllarda sosyolojinin de inceleme nesnesi haline geldiği görülmektedir. Bu bağlamda mevcut çalışmada, sosyoloji çatısı altında Web of Science veri tabanı üzerinde yer alan yapay zeka üzerine gerçekleştirilmiş çalışmaların VOSviewer yazılımı kullanılarak bibliyometrik bir analizini sunmak amaçlanmaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında yapa zeka ile ilgili makaleler, yıllara, ülkelere, yapılan çalışmaların atıf sayılarına ve sık kullanılan anahtar sözcüklerine göre analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma sonunda elde edilen bulgular, yapay zeka ile ilgili sosyoloji alanındaki çalışmaların özellikle son beş yılda yoğunlaştığını ve 2024 yılında en fazla makale sayısına ulaşıldığını; bölge olarak Amerika Birleşik Devletleri bünyesinde en fazla çalışmanın gerçekleştirildiğini göstermektedir.

A BIOMETRIC ANALYSIS WITH VOSVEWER ON THE CONCEPT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN SOCIOLOGY

Abstract

One of the realities of the 21st century is artificial intelligence technology. Artificial intelligence, which can be used in almost every field, is effective in a large part of human life. Academic studies have started to be carried out in many fields on artificial intelligence, which has become one of the main elements of competition between countries, where large capitals are spent. It is seen that artificial intelligence, which has attracted a lot of attention in the field of engineering and science, has become the object of study of sociology in recent years. In this context, the present study aims to present a bibliometric analysis of the studies on artificial intelligence on the Web of Science database under the umbrella of sociology using VOSviewer software. Within the scope of the study, articles on artificial intelligence were analyzed according years, countries, number of citations and frequently used keywords. The findings obtained at the end of the research show that the studies in the field of sociology related to artificial intelligence have intensified especially in the last five years and the highest number of articles was reached in 2014, and the most studies were carried out in the ABD as a region.
