This Sisyphus special issue presents research involving fundamentals, methodologies, and analyses of experiences that articulate the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI)—particularly Generative AI- with the development of digital teaching competences in educational contexts, from a critical, ethical, and pedagogically grounded perspective, and based on the reconfiguration of teaching practices. It consists of 9 articles from Portugal, Spain, Brazil, Angola, Nigeria, and Peru. This provides a diversity of contexts, approaches, participants, and practices addressed under multiple dimensions (institutional, pedagogical, ethical, cognitive, etc.), with emphasis on Generative AI, teacher perceptions, AI literacy, curricular innovation, and the ethical challenges of digital education. It is expected that these texts contribute to the advancement of knowledge and raise new research questions.
