Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) established itself in the educational landscape of basic education between 2020 and 2024, generating both expectations and profound reflections. This bibliographic study aimed to analyze, from a humanistic perspective, the impact of GenAI during this period. It examined the opportunities it offered for personalizing learning and developing 21st-century skills, as well as the ethical, pedagogical, and social challenges that emerged. Through a systematic review of academic literature published between 2020 and 2024, key trends were identified, and implications for the educational community were discussed. The findings of this review suggested that while GenAI presented promising tools, its integration required careful planning, continuous teacher training, and a student-centered approach to mitigate risks such as technological dependence, algorithmic bias, and the digital divide, always seeking to preserve the human essence of the educational act.
