This study provides a thorough bibliometric analysis of artificial intelligence (AI) in the fields of business, management, and accounting, and the rate at which this transformative technology has been published, alongside its trends and impacts over the forty-year period 1985 through to 2024. So we used Scopus to analyze the development of AI research in these areas, including trends in publications as well as top authors, institutions and countries. The analysis shows explosive growth in AI research, especially after 2010, spurred by improvements in computing power, the rise of massive datasets, and the creation of smart algorithms. The results highlight the international character of AI research, with major contributions also from the United States, the United Kingdom and India. Some of the significant domains of research are decision support systems, financial planning & forecasting, and organizational behavior and management. This research offers essential frameworks for academia, practitioners, and policymakers that can drive applied business, management, and accounting solutions to meet contemporary issues with the help of AI and carve out a research gap for future studies.
