The analysis of the challenges associated with the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in secondary school students globally reveals a complex panorama, due to the accelerated advance of technology in education. This study aims to analyze the challenges associated with the integration of AI in secondary school students globally. A systematic review was carried out applying the PRISMA methodology. Boolean operators were used to select review and original articles in English, Portuguese and Spanish (2020-2025), excluding articles irrelevant to the topic investigated. The MyLOFT application was used to access the SciELO, Scopus and Web of Science databases. It is concluded that AI is changing secondary education worldwide and this has great benefits as well as challenges.

El análisis de los desafíos asociados con la integración de la Inteligencia Artificial (IA) en los estudiantes de secundaria a nivel global revela un panorama complejo, debido al avance acelerado de la tecnología en la educación. Este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar los desafíos asociados con la integración de la IA en los estudiantes de secundaria a nivel global. Se realizó una revisión sistemática aplicando la metodología PRISMA. Se usaron operadores boleanos para seleccionar artículos de revisión y originales en inglés, portugués y español (2020-2025), excluyendo artículos irrelevantes al tema investigado. Se empleó el aplicativo MyLOFT para acceder a las bases de datos SciELO, Scopus y Web of Science. Se concluye que la IA está cambiando la educación secundaria a nivel mundial y esto tiene grandes beneficios como desafíos.
