Entre les tecnologies que han irromput recentment en l’àmbit de l’educació destaquen els xatbots d’IA, (ex. Duolingo Bot, IBM Watson Tutor o, fins i tot, ChatGPT). El present estudi duu a terme una revisió sistemàtica de la literatura (RSL), seguint el protocol PRISMA, en què s’analitzen 47 articles recuperats de les bases de dades Web of Science i Scopus entre els anys 2016 i 2024. Els resultats permeten identificar un mapa conceptual amb quatre dimensions diferenciades (i catorze subdimensions) en l’ús dels xatbots d’IA en l’àmbit educatiu. A saber: 1) Contextos d'aplicació (Processos d'ensenyament-aprenentatge, Contextos de gestió i Contextos de recerca); 2) Beneficis existents (Per a l'estudiantat, Per al professorat, Per a la prestació de serveis administratius i Per als serveis de biblioteca); 3) Reptes actuals (Ètics, D'actitud de l'usuari, De programació i De supervisió i manteniment); i 4) Àrees de desenvolupament (Avanços tècnics, Proves d'usabilitat i Definició de codis ètics). Aquest estudi facilita, pel que fa a RSL prèvies, una visió plenament actualitzada de l'estat de l'art sobre la investigació sobre l'ús d'IA-Chatbots a l'àmbit educatiu. Però, sobretot, ofereix un mapa conceptual clar i ben definit de les dimensions crítiques que cal tenir en compte, identificant-ne tots els possibles contextos d'aplicació, els beneficis, els reptes presents, i les àrees pendents de desenvolupar; en un treball que convida docents, investigadors, serveis de gestió i organismes al càrrec del disseny de polítiques educatives, a reflexionar sobre les implicacions de l'ús d'aquestes tecnologies.
