Abstract: Despite the increasing popularity and research focus on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in entrepreneurship, no comprehensive bibliometric analysis of relevant papers has been conducted. Our review examines 127 Scopus-indexed publications from 2007 to October 2023. The inquiry explores thematic progression, geographical production trends, and seminal works shaping the discourse. Notably, while authors from Asia, mainly China, lead in publication volume, influential works from the USA, the UK, and Australia attract significant scholarly attention. The analysis reveals a prominent trend: highly cited papers often lack theoretical frameworks, with literature reviews and conceptual analyses prevailing over empirical investigations. When theoretical foundations are present, diverse theories are often amalgamated. In conclusion, our review highlights numerous avenues for future academic exploration in this domain. Pragmatically, our effort, the first of its kind, consolidates fragmented insights, providing a cohesive understanding of AI's pivotal role in entrepreneurship.
