A paucity of Big Data analysis has characterized research on the “Quadruple Helix”; that is, interactions across Industries (also called Business and Industrial), Government (Law & Government), Academia (Science), and Civil Society (People and Society). This empirical study elaborates on the global interest that these four stakeholders have expressed on Artificial Intelligence (AI). Analysing Big Data sourced from Google Trend Index over five years, this paper describes and unpacks processes of transformation as concerns AI. results of the study include visualisations, comparisons, statistical analyses, and classification of global interest levels of Quadruple Helix stakeholders. The findings represent a novel perspectives on global landscape and innovation governance logics, with implications for also governance of interactions across national innovation systems and civil society.
