The share of corresponding/leading authors in scientific publications in AI in Italy is projected to slightly decrease from 88.92% in 2024 to 87.88% by 2028. Given that we lack specific 2023 data, this assessment assumes stability into the forecasted period. The year-on-year variation from 2024 to 2028 is expected to be minimal, reflecting a subtle downward trend.

Future Trends to Watch:

Pay attention to strategic collaborations among Italian AI researchers and international counterparts, which may influence author shares.
Government and academic policies focusing on AI research incentives could affect author distributions.
The impact of emerging technologies and methodologies in AI might shift authorship dynamics.
