Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping education by enabling personalized content delivery tailored to individual learner profiles. This transformation enhances learner engagement, knowledge retention, and academic success. Personalized learning addresses the diverse needs of students through intelligent algorithms capable of analyzing real-time data, learner behavior, and educational contexts to generate dynamic, customized learning experiences. With the rapid digitization of education and the rise of hybrid learning environments, AI-driven content delivery has gained prominence as a key component in ensuring accessibility, efficiency, and equity in learning. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the methodologies, technologies, and pedagogical foundations underpinning AI-based personalized learning systems. It investigates cutting-edge AI techniques, including deep learning, reinforcement learning, multimodal learning, and explainable AI, and illustrates their integration in intelligent tutoring systems, adaptive learning management platforms, and academic risk prediction models. The proposed layered framework emphasizes real-time data processing, cognitive modeling, adaptive content recommendation, and ethical governance. Advanced analytics such as clustering, predictive modeling, and engagement visualizations further enhance the framework’s effectiveness. The study also addresses ethical challenges, including privacy, bias, and human-AI collaboration, and offers future research directions such as emotion-aware systems, neuro-symbolic integration, and federated learning. By consolidating current research and offering actionable insights, this paper aims to support educators, technologists, and policymakers in deploying scalable, ethical, and impactful AI-driven personalized education systems.
