Artificial Intelligence Integration in Thai Education: A Systematic Literature Review of Everyday Learning Applications
Keywords:
artificial intelligence, Thai education, everyday learning, systematic literature review, educational technology, generative AIAbstract
This systematic literature review examines the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in everyday educational practices within the Thai educational context. Through a comprehensive analysis of 30 peer-reviewed studies published between 2020 and 2026, this review identifies key AI applications, adoption patterns, implementation challenges, and opportunities specific to Thailand’s educational landscape. The findings reveal that generative AI tools, intelligent chatbots, and adaptive learning systems are increasingly integrated across educational levels, with higher education showing more advanced adoption than K-12 settings. Key challenges include infrastructure limitations, digital literacy gaps, language barriers for non-native English speakers, and concerns about academic integrity and over-reliance on technology. The novelty of this review lies in its focused examination of AI in everyday Thai educational practices, revealing unique cultural and contextual factors that influence AI adoption, including the tension between technological innovation and traditional pedagogical values. This study provides evidence-based recommendations for policymakers, educators, and institutions to enhance AI integration while preserving the essential human elements of teaching and learning in the Thai context
