The significance of artificial intelligence in fostering professional competencies of the future: a systematic review

The purpose of this study is to conduct a systematic review of relevant materials published between 2018
and 2025, with a focus on analysing the advantages and disadvantages of AI adoption. PRISMA guidelines
were applied to search, screen and partially analyse the scientific literature. A total of 54 sources were
selected, including experimental papers, review studies, monographs, conference proceedings and
analytical articles. The systematic review proceeded in three phases: (1) analytical reading, (2) screening and (3) examination and reporting. The results show that numerous studies emphasise the potential
benefits of emerging technologies, beginning at school level and, consequently, the preparation of teachers
to integrate them creatively. Among the studies reviewed, 39% were experimental studies (EXP), while
36% were theoretical reviews (TR). Most of the studies were conducted in higher education institutions with
the participation of students and teachers. Methodologically, researchers have mainly undertaken
theoretical and survey-based investigations of AI use, although experimental studies are also noteworthy.
The conclusions suggest that, given the rapid evolution of digital technologies, an integrated approach
combining empirical and theoretical research is optimal for determining the impact of AI systems on the
formation of professional competences.
