Résumé
Artificial intelligence has experienced major developments in recent years and represents
an emerging technology that will revolutionize the ways in which human beings live. This technology
is already being introduced in the field of higher education, although many teachers are unaware of
its scope and, above all, of what it consists of. Therefore, the purpose of this paper was to analyse
the scientific production on artificial intelligence in higher education indexed in Web of Science and
Scopus databases during 2007–2017. A bespoke methodology of bibliometric studies was used in the
most relevant databases in social science. The sample was composed of 132 papers in total. From the
results obtained, it was observed that there is a worldwide interest in the topic and that the literature
on this subject is just at an incipient stage. We conclude that, although artificial intelligence is a reality,
the scientific production about its application in higher education has not been consolidated.
