Abstract

Purpose: This literature review examines the impact of AI on the development of Education 5.0, a new, revolutionary educational system that prioritizes human-centered learning through Industry 5.0 technologies. This study identifies key challenges, including readiness gaps among faculty for disruptive technology adaptation, the impact of AI on faculty roles, and the impact of AI on pedagogical innovations in the classroom. The findings aim to provide valuable information to educational institutions, technologists, and policymakers, enabling them to address gaps and inform policies related to Education 5.0, ultimately facilitating its development into a more reliable, equitable, and sustainable model for students and educators.

Methodology: Using the PRISMA modeling methodology, we analyzed how AI-driven pedagogical innovations, such as NLP, ML, ITS, LLMs, and Generative AI, enable dynamic adaptation to individual learning patterns, thereby fostering creativity and critical thinking. The research papers cited for this review are exclusively in peer-reviewed sources from Scopus, Web of Science (WoS), and IEEE, ensuring academic rigor, while statistical data is drawn from credible industry reports such as McKinsey, Deloitte, Statista, and Financial Express.

Results: The findings reveal that AI is redefining the role of the faculty, enabling personalized learning at a large scale. The review also identifies that while AI shows promise in enhancing educational access and equity, the lack of infrastructure, training, and long-term impact assessments poses significant challenges for the global adoption of this technology. The study also maps Education 5.0’s alignment with the UN SDGs, specifically SDGs 4 (Development of High-quality Education), 8 (Economic Development), and 10 (Reduction in Inequalities).

Conclusion: The review concludes that while AI presents significant opportunities to enhance educational access, equity, and quality, it also introduces considerable challenges. These must be addressed through targeted policymaking, infrastructure development, and the training of educators. The findings provide invaluable information for educational institutions, technologists, and policymakers to close existing gaps and guide the evolution of Education 5.0 into a more sustainable, inclusive, and reliable model.
