With the ability to analyse data, automate tasks, and adapt instruction based on learner behaviour, AI is driving fundamental changes across global education systems. From intelligent tutoring systems to automated grading, personalized learning environments, and administrative optimization, AI offers opportunities to enhance teaching efficiency and student outcomes. However, the rapid adoption of AI raises concerns about data privacy, ethical issues, teacher displacement fears, digital inequality, and over-reliance on technology. This paper provides a comprehensive literature review of AI applications in the education sector, examines global trends, explores benefits and challenges, and highlights existing research gaps. It also presents a comparative view of AI adoption across countries and offers insights into future directions for AI-driven education.
