Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article provides a review of the application of artificial intelligence (AI) methods in geological research over the past 20 years (2004-2024). Using the Scopus database and following the PRISMA methodology, a systematic assessment of publications was conducted based on the keywords “geology” and “artificial intelligence.” A total of 900 relevant documents were identified. The analysis of publications revealed that the leading countries in this field are China, the United States, and India. The reviewed studies highlight various AI techniques, including neural networks, genetic algorithms, and machine learning models, applied to different geological challenges such as mineral exploration, landslide prediction, and seismic analysis. The findings demonstrate significant improvements in prediction accuracy and automation in geological research. The article emphasizes the potential of AI to transform geoscience by enhancing data processing, decision-making, and environmental management.
