Abstract
The rapid emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the pedagogical and methodological foundations of Physical Education (PE). AI-based learning (AILD) combines machine learning algorithms, biometric data analysis, and content generation for highly personalized experiences and real-time feedback. This article critically reflects on the transformative potential of AILD in PE, analyzing its strengths, limitations, and ethical challenges. Drawing on recent literature and the Latin American context, we propose courses of action for researchers, educators, and educational policymakers.
