DİJİTAL DÖNÜŞÜMÜN EKSENİNDE: YAPAY ZEKÂ VE SOSYAL MEDYA KONULU ÇALIŞMALARIN BİBLİYOMETRİK ANALİZİ

Öz

Dijitalleşmenin ivme kazandığı günümüz bilgi toplumunda, yapay zekâ teknolojileri yaşamın çeşitli alanlarına entegre olurken, sosyal medya platformları da bireylerin gündelik pratiklerinin ayrılmaz bir parçası haline gelmiştir. Yapay zekâ ile sosyal medya teknolojilerinin giderek daha fazla etkileşim içine girmesi, bu iki alanın kesişim noktasında yürütülen akademik çalışmaların da artmasına neden olmuştur. Bu çalışma, yapay zekâ ve sosyal medya temalı bilimsel yayınların genel eğilimlerini, yapısal ilişkilerini ve odaklandıkları konuları ortaya koymak amacıyla bibliyometrik bir analiz olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada, Web of Science veri tabanında yer alan ve 2376 araştırma makalesinden oluşan veri seti bibliyometrik yöntemle incelenmiş; VOSviewer yazılımı aracılığıyla sözcük ağları ve işbirliği haritaları oluşturulmuştur. Elde edilen bulgular, özellikle Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ve Birleşik Krallık gibi ülkelerdeki araştırmacıların bu alana yoğun ilgi gösterdiğini ve bu ülkelerin literatürde belirleyici aktörler olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Alan dağılımı açısından bakıldığında, çalışmaların büyük ölçüde bilgisayar bilimleri ve mühendislik disiplinlerinde yoğunlaştığı, yayımlanan makalelerin ve bunlara yapılan atıfların son yıllarda belirgin biçimde artış gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Ortak anahtar kelime analizleri sonucunda, çalışmaların genel olarak teknik ve uygulamalı konulara odaklandığı, ancak “sahte haber”, “deepfake” ve “nefret söylemi” gibi yapay zekâ ve sosyal medya kesişiminde yer alan önemli toplumsal meselelerin araştırmalarda yeterince temsil edilmediği gözlemlenmiştir.

AT THE AXIS OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION: A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF RESEARCH ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND SOCIAL MEDIA

Öz

In today's rapidly digitalizing world, artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are being increasingly integrated into various aspects of daily life, while social media platforms have become indispensable components of everyday practices. As AI and social media technologies converge, academic interest in the intersection of these two domains has significantly intensified. This study was conducted as a bibliometric analysis to reveal the general trends, structural relationships, and thematic focuses of scientific publications addressing artificial intelligence and social media. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of 2,376 research articles indexed in the Web of Science database, employing VOSviewer software to generate co-authorship and keyword co-occurrence network maps. The findings reveal that researchers from countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom are leading contributors to this field, reflecting their prominent position in shaping the global literature. In terms of disciplinary focus, the studies are predominantly situated within the domains of computer science and engineering, and a noticeable increase in both publication and citation numbers has been observed in recent years. Keyword co-occurrence analysis indicates a prevailing focus on technical and applied research areas. However, critical societal issues at the intersection of AI and social media -such as fake news, deepfakes, and hate speech - remain underrepresented in the existing body of literature.
