Abstract

This comprehensive analysis of the literature looks at how generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is changing education. Using the PRISMA methodology, the review examines research that was published between 2020 and 2024. Key research patterns are identified in the paper, such as how GenAI affects learning outcomes, academic integrity, and ethical issues. The possible advantages and difficulties of GenAI in educational contexts are highlighted by a comparative analysis of the results, which also provides suggestions for further study and the responsible incorporation of GenAI in education.
