Abstract: The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionised many sectors around the world, even affecting the education sector, offering innovative solutions both for improving learning experiences and for the quality and effectiveness of teaching. Through personalised learning platforms and intelligent tutoring systems, AI has the potential to transform how learners optimally engage with educational content. The present research adopts a critical literature review approach, synthesising recent academic contributions, to identify the main applications of artificial intelligence in education, highlighting both the benefits and the problems that arise and which need a thorough and holistic analysis. Findings indicate that AI applications enhance personalisation, assessment efficiency, and inclusivity, while raising concerns regarding ethics, bias, and data privacy. The study contributes by providing a structured thematic synthesis of benefits and dilemmas, offering professors and policymakers a clearer framework for integrating AI responsibly into educational practice. All these critical issues are of great concern to the education community worldwide, as well as all stakeholders, such as educators, learners, educational institutions, and learning agencies.
