IN THE CURRENT POST-PANDEMIC SCENARIO, THE INTEGRATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) AND METAVERSES IN HIGHER EDUCATION HAS GAINED SIGNIFICANT RELEVANCE, TRANSFORMING LEARNING EXPERIENCES TOWARDS MORE IMMERSIVE AND PERSONALIZED APPROACHES. IDENTIFYING THE WAY IN WHICH THESE TECHNOLOGIES IMPACT UNIVERSITY TEACHING-LEARNING IS ESSENTIAL TO UNDERSTANDING THEIR TRUE CONTRIBUTION. THIS BIBLIOMETRIC REVIEW STUDY FOCUSES ON ANALYZING THE TREND IN SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTION, AS WELL AS THE IMPLICATIONS OF ITS IMPACT ON HIGHER EDUCATION. THROUGH A MIXED AND DESCRIPTIVE METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH, 63 SCIENTIFIC DOCUMENTS FROM THE SCOPUS DATABASE WERE REVIEWED. THE FINDINGS SHOW THAT SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTION INCREASED DURING THE PANDEMIC; HOWEVER, IN THE POST-PANDEMIC CONTEXT, RESEARCH HAS MAINTAINED AN UPWARD TREND. FURTHERMORE, THE IMPLICATIONS OF AI’S CONTRIBUTION TO METAVERSES—REPRESENTING A POSITIV...
