The increasingly widespread and intense use of artificial intelligence in the educational field has led to an exponential increase in research in this area. Both the applications of artificial intelligence in education and the research carried out on it are framed in different dimensions of education, ranging from management at the educational system level to students' personal learning processes. Although some proposals for categorizations allow the different applications of artificial intelligence in education and the research that derives from them to be ordered and classified, these are proposals that are too broad and, to a certain extent, poorly defined in their structures. Through a systematic review process, different proposals for categorizations related to the binomial "artificial intelligence – education" were analyzed to arrive at the construction of a proposal that includes the existing ones but also transcends them. The result is the creation of a categorization structured in four dimensions and eight subdimensions, which can be used at all educational levels and is valid both for classifying Artificial Intelligence tools applied in education and for research on the subject.
