El presente artículo tiene como objetivo analizar el uso de la inteligencia artificial en la educación inicial y preparatoria, destacando sus principales innovaciones pedagógicas y su impacto en el aprendizaje en la primera infancia. Para ello, se desarrolló una revisión sistemática de la literatura siguiendo las directrices PRISMA, considerando estudios publicados entre 2019 y 2026 en bases de datos indexadas como Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, ERIC y Google Scholar. Tras un riguroso proceso de selección, se incluyeron 30 estudios relevantes para el análisis cualitativo. Los resultados evidencian que la inteligencia artificial contribuye significativamente a la personalización del aprendizaje, mejora el rendimiento académico y favorece el desarrollo de habilidades cognitivas, lingüísticas y socioemocionales. Asimismo, se identifican diversas aplicaciones, como sistemas de tutoría inteligente, plataformas adaptativas y herramientas de storytelling digital. Sin embargo, también se reconocen desafíos importantes, como la brecha digital, la falta de formación docente y las implicaciones éticas relacionadas con el uso de datos. Se concluye que la inteligencia artificial representa una herramienta clave para la innovación educativa, siempre que su implementación sea crítica y centrada en el desarrollo integral del estudiante.
