This systematic literature review explores the application of Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) in education, analyzing its development and future trends. The study reviewed 134 relevant publications from EBSCO, EI Compendex, Scopus, and Web of Science. Key findings include: the United States is the most active country in AIGC educational research, with theoretical studies dominating; research is primarily published in educational technology and medical fields; research topics focus on five themes: AIGC performance assessment, instructional application, learning outcomes enhancement, advantages and disadvantages analysis, and future prospects. Grounded Theory analysis reveals the core advantages and potential risks of AIGC in education, including scenarios and logic of its application. The study also provides future research directions from both theoretical and practical perspectives, contributing to clarifying key issues in AI and education integration, promoting more intelligent, effective, and sustainable educational methods and tools. The development and deployment of AIGC in education will be a critical point where technology intersects with society. Its continued improvement may determine whether it serves as a positive force for innovation or a cautionary tale about unchecked technological progress. AIGC has empowered education by enabling more personalized and adaptive teaching and learning. Many researchers believe that AIGC has the potential to transform education, but also raise concerns about academic integrity and ethical issues. The study highlights the importance of further research to address these challenges and fully realize the potential of AIGC in education.This systematic literature review explores the application of Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) in education, analyzing its development and future trends.
