Abstract

Purpose This editorial review presents a bibliometric account of the convergence of the fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and human resource management (HRM) and an overview of the related contributions in this special issue. It also explores the expansive area where research on AI and HRM intersects, a domain experiencing rapid growth and transformation, faster than we envisaged. Design/methodology/approach This substantive editorial employs a range of bibliometric analytical tools to present a state of knowledge on the topic and also provides an analytical overview of the contributions in this Special Issue. Findings A thorough examination of scholarly publications spanning two decades illuminates the evolutionary path of themes, key contributors, seminal works and emerging trends within this interdisciplinary sphere. Leveraging co-word analysis, we distill essential themes and insights from an extensive dataset of 654 journal publications curated from the Web of Science database. Our analysis underscores critical research domains, highlighting the nuanced interplay between HRM and AI. Originality/value By integrating findings from the bibliometric analysis and the contributions from the papers in the Special Issue, we highlight and speculate where the field is heading and where scholars have crucial? Opportunities to contribute to going forward.
