Findings of two systematic reviews on AI in K-12 and AI in higher education will be presented. This includes information on contextual information, such as geographical interest in AIEd, academic levels, and disciplines, who the AI is intended for, and most importantly, trends in how AI is being used. With such powerful tools, ethical considerations are discussed alongside the uses of AIEd.
