The pace of AI adoption varies significantly across countries and industries. With the transition to the information society, the importance of intangible assets in gaining sustainable competitive advantage for organizations is increasing. In this context, intellectual capital has become a fundamental element in the knowledge production capacity, innovation performance and strategic management processes of institutions.  This study aims to examine the issue of "the role of artificial intelligence in intellectual capital" from the perspective of innovation through bibliometric and qualitative analysis. With the bibliometric method, 21. From the beginning of the century to the present, visualization analysis of 121 important publications from the Web of Science database has been made. Our findings suggest an increase in the number of publications after 2021, but it is insufficient.  In the research, the relevant literature was systematically evaluated; the development trends, prominent themes, key concepts, research clusters and scientific collaborations of the field were analyzed. However, the study was not limited to numerical bibliometric indicators; The findings obtained were handled with a qualitative interpretation approach and the theoretical transformation and conceptual orientation of the field were also evaluated. The study aims to provide guiding contributions to researchers, managers, and policymakers by revealing the relationship between artificial intelligence and intellectual capital literature in a holistic manner. In addition, it is thought that this research will serve as a reference for future academic studies on information management, innovation and organizational sustainability in the age of digital transformation.
