Abstract: The issue of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and educational leadership has become a central topic following the shift to knowledge technology and digital literacy in recent years. Despite increasing attention to the topic among scholars and policymakers during the last decade, we lack a comprehensive review of AI and educational leadership. Therefore, by using bibliometric analysis of data derived from the Scopus database, this paper represents a systematic scoping of AI and educational leadership, tracing its development, characteristics, and knowledge accumulation within broad perspectives. Results identify key trends, geographic representation, topical foci, main concepts, themes, and their interconnections, including their implications for targeted Sustainable Development Goals. Implications, limitations, and future research reviewed in the studies are fully discussed.
