The role of the school manager in leading innovation processes is essential to strengthen school management. In this sense, Artificial Intelligence -AI- as an innovation tool begins to play a relevant role. Therefore, it is essential to know: What types of AI tools can be used in the management of the educational field? What are its advantages or benefits? What are the barriers and challenges? What are the strategies that school directors can use to implement Artificial Intelligence tools in school management? To achieve these purposes, a systematic review is carried out in the Google Scholar and Semantics Scholar databases of review articles and scientific articles, with two inclusion criteria: by relevance or limited in the period 2020 to 2024. Initially, the role of the school director is addressed; then, the categories of AI associated with the educational field are investigated, with their advantages, challenges and barriers, and finally, how school directors can face the implementation of AI in school management is addressed. Most of the tools studied in various investigations are for use by teachers and students. There is still a need to study the strategies that school directors can use to implement AI tools to strengthen school management in educational institutions.
