Abstract: The achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) mainly targets the provision of inclusive, equitable, and quality education for all by the year 2030. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the revolutionary technologies in the education sector that provides quality learning innovations as well as efficiency in learning institutions. This paper proposes an overall framework for the application of AI in the attainment of SDG 4, based on an in-depth analysis of more than hundreds peer-reviewed articles published between 2018 and 2025. AI in education is aligned with UNESCO's SDG 4 through the use of the conceptual alignment matrix. This paper critically analyzes the challenges that may arise in the application of AI in the attainment of SDG 4, offering possible mitigation measures for the challenges. It proposes a roadmap in phases for the application of AI in the attainment of SDG 4. Findings indicate that AI can significantly improve education quality and promote equity; however, achieving SDG 4 by 2030 requires coordinated action and a strong emphasis on equity in all AI applications within the education sector.
