Purpose – The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly transformed various aspects of human life, particularly in education. This study aims to examine trends in the use of AI within project-based learning (PjBL) strategies, specifically in the context of social, arts, and humanities topics, over the period of 2014–2024.Method – This study is a bibliometric review. The authors collected relevant research data from the Scopus database using the keywords ("artificial intelligence" OR "AI") AND ("project-based learning" OR "PjBL") AND ("education" OR "educational"), which were then analyzed using VOSviewer software version 1.6.20. At least 120 articles were gathered, and after article extraction, 41 articles were selected for analysis in this study. Findings – The bibliometric review provides a comprehensive understanding of the current state of research on PjBL and AI. While significant progress has been made through interdisciplinary collaborations and high-impact publications, addressing the identified gaps in ethics, global integration, and inclusivity is crucial for realizing the full potential of AI in education. These efforts will enable the development of innovative, ethical, and globally relevant solutions to educational challenges. Research Implications – This research enriches the discourse on educational innovation through a bibliometric review, highlighting the need for interdisciplinary collaboration to integrate AI in PBL. It emphasizes partnerships among computer scientists, educators, and social science experts to create culturally sensitive AI systems that enhance learning while addressing ethical concerns. The findings provide guidance for educators, researchers, and policymakers to ensure equitable and context-aware AI applications in education, benefiting all fields of knowledge.
