The greatest technological changes in our lives are predicted to be brought about by Artificial Intelligence (AI). Together with the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, and several others, AI is considered to be the most disruptive technology, and has impacted numerous sectors, such as healthcare (medicine), business, agriculture, education, and urban development. The present research aims to achieve the following: identify how disruptive technologies have evolved over time and their current acceptation (1); extract the most prominent disruptive technologies, besides AI, that are in use today (2); and elaborate on the domains that were impacted by AI and how this occurred (3). Based on a sentiment analysis of the titles and abstracts, the results reveal that the majority of recent publications have a positive connotation with regard to the disruptive impact of edge technologies, and that the most prominent examples (the top five) are AI, the IoT, blockchain, 5G, and 3D printing. The disruptive effects of AI technology are still changing how people interact in the corporate, consumer, and professional sectors, while 5G and other mobile technologies will become highly disruptive and will genuinely revolutionize the landscape in all sectors in the upcoming years.

Electronic commerce has a strong connection with recommendation processes. There are various forms of recommendations, ranging from virtual assistants to online suggestions made in real time. Different algorithms and technologies are utilized for each form, and the choice of technique is dependent on the task at hand. For instance, artificial intelligence may utilize deep learning or machine learning techniques. The type of data also plays a role in determining the techniques used. Predictive modeling is applied to textual data, while image data requires image processing followed by AI algorithms for prediction. This study aimed to investigate the extent to which artificial intelligence is utilized in recommender systems for electronic commerce, as well as the current and future trends in the field. This was achieved through a systematic literature review of scientific articles from the past decade, using WosViewer for data collection and the Bibliometrix R package for analysis. The findings demonstrate that artificial intelligence works in conjunction with other technologies, such as blockchain, virtual reality, and augmented reality, to enhance the consumer experience throughout the e-commerce process.

This systematic literature review examines the integration of natural language processing (NLP) in software requirements engineering (SRE) from 1991 to 2023. Focusing on the enhancement of software requirement processes through technological innovation, this study spans an extensive array of scholarly articles, conference papers, and key journal and conference reports, including data from Scopus, IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, and Clarivate. Our methodology employs both quantitative bibliometric tools, like keyword trend analysis and thematic mapping, and qualitative content analysis to provide a robust synthesis of current trends and future directions. Reported findings underscore the essential roles of advanced computational techniques like machine learning, deep learning, and large language models in refining and automating SRE tasks. This review highlights the progressive adoption of these technologies in response to the increasing complexity of software systems, emphasizing their significant potential to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of requirement engineering practices while also pointing to the challenges of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and NLP into existing SRE workflows. The systematic exploration of both historical contributions and emerging trends offers new insights into the dynamic interplay between technological advances and their practical applications in SRE.

This study provides a nuanced understanding of AI’s impact on productivity and employment using machine learning models and Bayesian Network Analysis. Data from 233 employees across various industries were analyzed using logistic regression, Random Forest, and XGBoost, with 5-fold cross-validation. The findings reveal that high levels of AI tool usage and integration within organizational workflows significantly enhance productivity, particularly among younger employees. A significant interaction between AI tools usage and integration (β = 0.4319, p < 0.001) further emphasizes the importance of comprehensive AI adoption. Bayesian Network Analysis highlights complex interdependencies between AI usage, innovation, and employee characteristics. This study confirms that strategic AI integration, along with targeted training programs and ethical frameworks, is essential for maximizing AI’s economic potential.

In this study, we aim to investigate the influence of the time spent reading product information on consumer behavior in e-commerce. Given the rapid growth of e-commerce and the increasing importance of understanding online consumer behavior, our research focuses on gaining a deeper understanding of customer navigation on e-commerce websites and its effects on purchasing decisions. Recognizing the multidimensional and dynamic nature of consumer behavior, we utilize machine learning techniques, which offer the capacity to handle complex data structures and reveal hidden patterns within the data, thereby augmenting our comprehension of underlying consumer behavior mechanisms. By analyzing clickstream data using Machine Learning (ML) algorithms, we provide new insights into the internal structure of customer clusters and propose a methodology for analyzing non-linear relationships in datasets. Our results reveal that the time spent reading product-related information, combined with other factors such as bounce rates, exit rates, and customer type, significantly influences a customer’s purchasing decision. This study contributes to the existing literature on e-commerce research and offers practical implications for e-commerce website design and marketing strategies.

This systematic review investigates the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in advancing clean energy technologies within Europe, based on a literature survey from 2006 to 2023. The assessment reveals that AI, particularly through deep learning and neural networks, enhances the efficiency, optimization, and management of clean energy systems. Noteworthy is AI’s capacity to improve short-term energy forecasts, essential for smart cities and IoT applications. Our findings indicate that AI drives innovation in renewable energy, contributing to the development of smart grids and enabling collaborative energy-sharing models. While the research underscores AI’s substantial influence in Europe’s energy sector, it also identifies gaps, such as varied AI algorithm applications in different renewable energy sectors. The study emphasizes the need for integrating AI with emerging clean energy innovations, advocating for interdisciplinary research to navigate the socio-economic, environmental, and policy dimensions. This approach is crucial for guiding a sustainable and balanced advancement in the clean energy landscape, signifying AI’s pivotal role in Europe’s energy transition.
