Abstract - This study investigates the online visibility and scholarly impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) research using Altmetric Attention Scores (AAS) and citation data. A total of 456 peer-reviewed AI-related journal articles published between 2020 and 2024 were collected from the Dimensions database using the following Field of Research (FoR) codes: 4602 (Artificial Intelligence), 4611 (Machine Learning), and 4603 (Computer Vision and Multimedia Computation). Altmetric.com was used to retrieve AAS and major source-level engagement indicators, including Twitter (X), Mendeley readers, news mentions, blogs, Wikipedia, Facebook, Reddit, and policy documents. The datasets were merged using DOI as the unique identifier, and all analyses were conducted using Microsoft Excel, Python, and SPSS....
