The convergence of artificial intelligence (AI), entrepreneurship, and online education has gained significant traction in recent years, driven by rapid technological innovation and increasing demands for flexible learning and business solutions. This study aims to map and analyze the intellectual structure of this interdisciplinary field through a comprehensive bibliometric and topic modeling approach. Drawing from 489 peer-reviewed articles published between 2010 and 2024 sourced from Scopus and Web of Science, the study employs the Bibliometric R-package and Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) for data analysis. The findings reveal five major thematic clusters, with "Teaching and Pedagogical Innovations" and "Innovative Learning Models and Entrepreneurship" emerging as dominant areas. The bibliometric analysis highlights China, the UK, and the US as leading con-tributors to the field. The originality of this research lies in its dual methodological approach and its identification of underexplored themes, offering future research directions. The study contributes to the theoretical development of digital entrepreneurship and AI-enhanced education while providing actionable insights for policymakers and academic institutions.
