Abstract

This study is a literature review aimed at describing the development and application of Data Science across various sectors of life. The method used involves a review of scientific literature from multiple academic sources published between 2018. The findings indicate that Data Science has evolved from classical statistical approaches to artificial intelligence–based systems that support decision-making in the health, finance, education, agriculture, industry, and government sectors. This review also highlights the integration of Big Data, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence technologies as the main drivers of global digital transformation.
