Abstract:[Purpose/Significance]Under the background of the rapid development of big data and artificial intelligence, the analysis of relevant literature about artificial intelligence research in the field of library and information in China will help to understand the research progress and research trends of artificial intelligence in the field of library and information in China. That can promote the deep integration of artificial intelligence and domestic library and information fields, and play an increasingly important role. [Method/Process]This paper uses Citespace to comb the literature research on artificial intelligence in the field of library and information from CNKI, and studies important Institutions, theme evolution, research hot topics and future trends of artificial intelligence in the field of library and information in China, and makes comparative and visual analysis.[Result/Conclusion]The analysis results show that the number of researches on artificial intelligence in the field of library and information in China is increasing continuously, but it has not yet fully developed and matured. At present, research institutions in this area are scattered, the topics are closely related and overlapping. The research themes of artificial intelligence in the field of library and information in China can be clustered into 8 categories. Among them, smart library, intelligent data service and knowledge engineering as hot research topics and research trends of artificial intelligence in the field of library and information in recent years can be further explored. The continuous advancement of artificial intelligence technology such as machine learning, knowledge graph, and semantic networks has expanded the potential of the domestic library and information field.
