Trends in Using Artificial Intelligence in Social and Natural Science Research

Abstract

This article discusses trends in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in social sciences and natural sciences research. The introduction highlights how AI has evolved into an essential tool in both fields, addressing the limitations of traditional methods in social sciences and accelerating data analysis in natural sciences. The research method used is bibliometric analysis, with data collected from Google Scholar using keywords related to AI in social and natural sciences. Relevant articles were selected through a content evaluation and exclusion process, resulting in 1,000 social science publications and 999 natural science publications, which were further analyzed using VOSviewer with such as being outside the five-year range (published from 2020 to 2025). The study's findings indicate that in social sciences, AI is widely used to enhance research effectiveness through faster data processing, particularly in higher education and social policy analysis. Additionally, AI studies in social sciences are expanding, focusing on ethics, regulation, and human-AI interaction. In natural sciences, AI plays a crucial role in resource management, environmental research, and the healthcare industry, including disease diagnosis and drug development. Recent trends also show an increasing use of large language models (LLMs) and natural language processing (NLP) in scientific research. The study concludes that AI has become a key element in both social and natural science research. Recommendations for social science researchers include further exploration of AI’s impact on psychology, law, and education, as well as the use of bibliometric methods. Meanwhile, natural science researchers are advised to focus on improving AI transparency, developing more accurate technologies, and applying AI in environmental and industrial research. Interdisciplinary collaboration is necessary to ensure AI development remains ethical and inclusive.
