Abstract: This research aims to examine how artificial intelligence (AI) can be used within the educational framework for developing personalized learning paths. In order to achieve this goal, an etic approach is employed, and a qualitative-quantitative perspective is adopted. Thus, following the PRISMA guidelines, 71 articles published on Web od Science, during January 2014 – June 2024, are selected and analysed using cluster and density analysis. The results bring forward that the peak of the scientific production was reached in 2022 and that the topic is more appealing to the scholars from the information technology field than to the ones from the educational area. Furthermore, two lines of research can be identified; one that is technology-driven and another one that is learner/human-driven. Further research is required in providing a nexus between the two of them since, in the context of Industry 5.0 and Society 5.0, AI could act as a bridge. This research has several implications. On the one hand, it emphasizes the topics that captured scholars’ attention and also various research gaps that should be addressed. On the other hand, it extends the research from the educational management area by highlighting how AI could facilitate the transition towards the implementation of the connectivism learning theories.
