Through the education of gifted individuals, cultural and intellectual progress is actively provided, and these individuals are supported to realize innovative transformations in their countries. It is essential to design learning environments where gifted individuals can realize their potential at the highest level and benefit from the technological opportunities of the age. In the context of the digital transformation process in the field of education, the role of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in education is becoming increasingly important; AI-supported applications attract attention in many areas, such as individualizing and differentiating the learning process, supporting students' strengths, and diversifying ways of accessing information. This study aims to systematically examine academic studies conducted in the last decade (2014–2024) on artificial intelligence (AI)-based applications in the science education of gifted individuals. This research used the literature review method, sample characteristics, publication location (international/national), research designs, studied topics, AI tools, and data analysis methods as the basic review criteria. Within the scope of the study, national and international databases (ERIC, Scopus, Web of Science, ULAKBİM, etc.) were searched with keywords such as “gifted students”, “science education”, “artificial intelligence”, “AI in gifted education”; studies that met the inclusion criteria were examined in detail. At the end of the study, trends, focused themes, and methodological features regarding the use of artificial intelligence in science education of gifted individuals will be systematically presented in line with the obtained data. This review aims to guide researchers and practitioners who want to plan the use of artificial intelligence in science education for gifted individuals in the future more effectively and in a more targeted manner by revealing the general trends and gaps in the studies conducted in the field.
