Application of artificial intelligence in environmental engineering:Hotspots evolution and future trends
Environmental engineering is confronted with new challenges and prospects.It necessitates a shift in the paradigm of scientific research,and transcending the disciplinary confinement of end-management as the primary objective.This shift is crucial for enabling environmental engineering to play a more pivotal role in addressing global ecological and environmental challenges.On the other hand,artificial intelligence(AI)stands as one of today's innovative technologies,with its application in environmental engineering marking a pivotal direction for future innovation.This study employed bibliometric methods to sift through an extensive collection of over 24 000 papers related to AI in environmental engineering,spanning from 1990 to 2023.It analyzed the prominent institutions globally involved in this field,illustrated the current research directions of AI in environmental engineering,and discussed the evolution and future trends of research hotspots.Additionally,the existing challenges were also raised.Consequently,this study aims to provide valuable suggestions and insights for the research and development of AI in environmental engineering,facilitating the rapid advancement of China's environmental engineering disciplines.
