The core research question is: How is GenAI transforming educational processes, and what are the challenges and opportunities associated with its implementation? To answer it, a systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted, analyzing recent studies that address applications, policies, and limitations of AI in education. The main findings highlight three key constructs: personalization of learning, which improves academic performance through adaptive interventions; educational innovation, which boosts motivation through interactive and gamified environments; and the need for ethical and inclusive regulation, which guarantees transparency and equity in the use of these technologies. In addition, gaps were identified in institutional policies and existing legal regulation, evidencing the urgency of updating them to respond to emerging challenges. The added value of this study lies in its holistic and comprehensive approach, which connects pedagogical applications, ethical challenges, and regulatory policies, proposing concrete recommendations for the responsible and effective implementation of AI in educational contexts.TextoengrestrictedAccesshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0HUMANIDADES Y CIENCIAS DE LA CONDUCTA::PEDAGOGÍA::TEORÍA Y MÉTODOS EDUCATIVOS::PEDAGOGÍA EXPERIMENTALEducationArtículo/ArticleInteractive Learning EnvironmentsEl artículo no se publicó en acceso abierto.Educational innovationHigher educationGenerative artificial intelligencePersonalization of learningInstitutional policies in educationInnovación educativaEducación superiorInteligencia artificial generativaPersonalización del aprendizajePolíticas institucionales en educación124Reino Unido / United Kingdom
