Analyzing the Ecosystem Contexts in the AI Literature Using Latent Dirichlet Allocation and Exploratory Factor Analysis
Authors: , ,
Abstract: This study aims to explore the major topics in the recent artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystem literature
and identify and categorize those topics into categories of AI ecosystems. The study analyzed 149 publications
from Google Scholar using two text mining techniques: latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) and exploratory factor
analysis (EFA). The LDA identified 12 major topics, while the EFA grouped them into six common factors:
(a) human resources-driven, (b) technology and algorithm-based, (c) business and entrepreneurial-driven, (d)
legal, ethical, privacy, and regulatory framework, (e) innovation-based, and (f) government-supported. The goal
is to suggest various AI ecosystems and their best fit for a country or region based on its characteristics and
resources. Understanding these types of AI ecosystems can provide valuable insights for government agencies,
policymakers, businesses, educational institutions, and other stakeholders to align strategies with resources for
developing successful AI-driven ecosystems.
