The article analyzes global scientific production on the relationship between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda. Through a bibliometric analysis of 8,167 documents indexed in Scopus (2015–2026), growth trends, global actors, dominant technologies, and thematic gaps are identified. Results reveal a 22,980% growth in scientific output over the decade analyzed, with an inflection point in 2022 associated with the rise of generative AI. India and China lead global production. A thematic focus on SDGs 9, 13, and 7 is observed, in contrast to an underrepresentation of SDG 4 (Quality Education), which accounts for only 2.4% of the corpus. This finding confirms a significant research gap regarding the strategic role of AI in higher education.
