Artificial intelligence in marketing: Systematic review and future research direction
Open accessAbstract
Disruptive technologies such as the internet of things, big data analytics, blockchain, and artificial intelligence have changed the ways businesses operate. Of all the disruptive technologies, artificial intelligence (AI) is the latest technological disruptor and holds immense marketing transformation potential. Practitioners worldwide are trying to figure out the best fit AI solutions for their marketing functions. However, a systematic literature review can highlight the importance of artificial intelligence (AI) in marketing and chart future research directions. The present study aims to offer a comprehensive review of AI in marketing using bibliometric, conceptual and intellectual network analysis of extant literature published between 1982 and 2020. A comprehensive review of one thousand five hundred and eighty papers helped to identify the scientific actors' performance like most relevant authors and most relevant sources. Furthermore, co-citation and co-occurrence analysis offered the conceptual and intellectual network. Data clustering using the Louvain algorithm helped identify research sub-themes and future research directions to expand AI in marketing.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
