This literature review aims to explore the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in mathematics education for Generation Alpha students. It examines approaches, challenges, considerations, and assesses the readiness of Philippine tertiary mathematics classrooms for AI integration within the context of Generation Alpha students. The review follows a six-step process outlined by Templier and Paré (2015): formulating research questions and objectives, searching the literature, screening for inclusion, assessing the quality of primary studies, extracting data, and analyzing data. It includes academic articles published between 2018 and 2023, written in English. The integration of AI in mathematics education offers personalized instruction, fosters critical thinking skills, and prepares Generation Alpha students for the demands of the digital age. Approaches such as robotics, gamification, AI-assisted teaching, and virtual reality enhance learning experiences. While the integration of AI in mathematics education for Generation Alpha students holds immense potential, it also encounters challenges such as infrastructure limitations, quality assurance, social interaction, and data privacy. The Philippines is making strides in embracing AI integration, with initiatives promoting AI in education, the adoption of smart campus technologies, and collaboration between government and universities. To successfully integrate AI in math education for Generation Alpha students, higher institutions, including those in the Philippines, should conduct further studies to address concerns and challenges of integrating AI tools in education. Additionally, understanding Generation Alpha's perspective on exemplary teachers would help prepare tertiary institutions for these upcoming college students.
