Through this document, it was possible to analyze the main characteristics of the volume of scientific production regarding the study of the variables Higher Education and the challenges of artificial intelligence. A bibliometric analysis was proposed to analyze details such as Year of Publication, Country of Origin of the publication, Area of Knowledge in which the published research is carried out and the Type of Publication most frequently used by the authors of each document published in high-impact journals indexed in the Scopus database during the period between 2017 and 2022. Among the main findings, it was possible to determine that, for the execution of the different research methodologies, the report of 307 scientific documents related to the study of the trends and challenges faced by higher education in the integration of artificial intelligence was achieved. The maximum number of publications made in a year was 105 papers submitted in 2022. The country of origin of the institutions that reported the highest number of records in Scopus was China with 47 documents. The area of knowledge with the greatest influence at the time of executing the research projects that resulted in scientific publications was Computer Science with 183 documents. Finally, the type of publication most frequently used to publicize findings from the analysis of the aforementioned variables was Session Papers, which represented 42% of the total scientific production.
