AI Adoption Surges Across Scientific Domains Post-2015

ai-technology · 2026-05-09

A study analyzing AI adoption in science from 1960 to 2015 reveals substantial differences across countries and domains, followed by exponential growth after 2015. The number of AI-supported works multiplied by at least four across all fields. However, AI research remains confined to topics tied to Computer Science and conventional statistics, limiting transformative impact. The findings suggest challenges if trends persist.
