It examines how AI-based systems, adaptive feedback, learning analytics, and gameful design can support engagement, personalization, inclusion, and students\u2019 active participation. Following a non-exhaustive review design, the contribution identifies recurrent applicationareas, pedagogical opportunities,&nbsp;and critical issues,&nbsp;and the&nbsp;risk of reducing motivation to automated rewards. The review argues for moving beyond a merely technical view of innovation, framing AI and gamification as educational mediators that require intentional design, methodological coherence, and&nbsp;attention&nbsp;to&nbsp;relational&nbsp;and&nbsp;affective&nbsp;dimensions. The outcome&nbsp;is a first conceptual map to inform future empirical research&nbsp;and teacher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keywords<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Artificial&nbsp;Intelligence;&nbsp;Gamification;&nbsp;Education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bibliografia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cavus, N., Ibrahim, I., Ogbonna Okonkwo, M.
