Abstract

The present comparative bibliometric study (2020-2025) of the Scopus and WoS databases on Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) reveals accelerated growth, concentrating more than 95% of the production and reaching its peak impact in 2025. Thematically, the intersection of communication and technology/education dominates. Geographically, the United States leads production, but Asia-Pacific institutions (Hong Kong) are key. The field of GenAI is a massive trend driven by concentrated collaboration between North America and Asia.
