Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into educational contexts has opened new pathways for school literary analysis. This technology enhances students' understanding of literary texts, supports critical interpretation, and allows for more personalized teaching and learning experiences. However, its use raises ethical concerns regarding authorship, technological dependence, and access equity, as well as pedagogical challenges related to critical thinking and learner autonomy. This article explores the potential of AI as a didactic tool in school literary analysis, examines the ethical and pedagogical dilemmas it entails, and proposes guidelines for its responsible implementation in the classroom. The study aims to foster a comprehensive reflection that balances the opportunities of AI with the foundational principles of literary education.
