The rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and various emerging technologies (ETs) is poised to fundamentally reshape educational landscapes. Smart classrooms, characterized by their technologically enhanced, interactive, and personalized learning environments, represent a frontier for this integration. This paper provides a critical evaluation of the benefits and limitations of deploying AI and ETs in smart classrooms, examining their potential to foster individualized learning, automate tasks, and enhance engagement. It also delves into the significant challenges that impede widespread and effective implementation, including ethical dilemmas, infrastructural demands, pedagogical shifts, and issues of equity. Finally, the paper explores future perspectives, offering recommendations for ethical deployment, sustainable integration, and policy development to harness these technologies' full potential for creating more adaptive, accessible, and engaging learning experiences. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and smart technologies in educational spaces has led to the concept of "Smart Classrooms." This paper presents a literature review on smart classroom technology, with a focus on AI-related technologies. Key technologies related to smart classes, such as effective class management, smart teaching aids, and automated performance assessment, are discussed, with an emphasis on the role of AI in these areas. A SWOT analysis is presented, highlighting the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats of adopting AI in smart classes. The challenges and future perspectives of utilizing AI-based techniques in smart classes are also discussed. This survey targets educators and AI professionals to inform them about the potential and limitations of AI in education and inspire AI professionals to address the challenges and peculiarities of educational AI-based systems.
