description The global use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has attracted considerable attention, and its integration into educational systems is a priority that warrants further exploration. In collaboration with UNESCO, numerous organizations have proposed parameters advocating for the inclusion of AI in basic education systems. A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted to identify these parameters from the existing research. Although these parameters have been mentioned in some studies, they are generally not prioritized in the research landscape. AI tools are primarily used to support students, while teachers typically employ a pedagogical approach centered on in-class activities. Additionally, essential conditions related to research requirements and involvement from the private and third sectors showed consistent adherence across the examined studies. However, it was found that only 52% of the studies included an ethical declaration regarding the data collected by AI during research development, especially regarding studies involving children. This review provides a guide for educational communities looking to enhance pedagogical practices through AI integration into their educational environments, but who may be uncertain about where to begin. Questions related to AI modality selection, pedagogical relevance, ethical considerations, and procedural guidelines for integrating AI into curricula are addressed through the insights provided in this review.
