INTEGRATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN TEACHER TRAINING: TRAINING TO INNOVATE IN THE DIGITAL AGE.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is already part of people's daily lives in Portugal, since it is present in practically every economic sector of society, making it difficult for citizens not to use this type of emerging technology in all kinds of contexts. The education sector is precisely one example of a context where AI is used and should be taught in a pedagogical way, helping to clarify its proper use for both students and teachers. In this sense, it is essential that AI is integrated into teacher training so that these professionals are prepared to use this type of technology, integrating it into the teaching-learning process. The research is carried out through a systematic literature review, carried out between 2020 and 2024, which seeks to identify the benefits of integrating AI in teacher training, thus contributing to the discussion and reflection on the subject. The results show that, although there is a need for more literature in the area, there is recognition of the importance of providing teachers with digital skills in the area of AI through continuous training so that they can be in line with the new educational reality.
