This article analyzes the pedagogical implications of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) in curriculum planning, with special attention to the phenomenon of hallucinations, defined as seemingly plausible but factually incorrect content. Through a systematic review of scientific literature from 2020-2025 in specialized databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and others, the intersection between GAI, primarily represented by Large Language Model (LLMs) such as GPT-4.5, Claude Sonnet 3.7, Gemini Advanced, among others, and curriculum design processes guided by Colombia's Ministry of National Education (MEN) is examined. This literature review shows that, while GAI presents significant opportunities to optimize educational tasks such as curriculum planning, the generation of teaching materials, and assessments, hallucinations constitute a considerable risk to take into account. These can be classified into factuality hallucinations, understood as discrepancies with verifiable facts, and fidelity hallucinations, which refer to deviations from given instructions or lack of internal coherence, both with the potential to compromise essential components of curriculum planning such as learning objectives, content, and assessment. The results suggest that to effectively leverage GAI in educational environments, it is necessary to develop specific digital literacy competencies in teachers, implement institutional information verification protocols, and establish triangulation strategies with reliable academic sources. This reflective approach will allow balancing technological innovation with the preservation of educational quality, taking advantage of the personalization and efficiency benefits offered by GAI while mitigating the risks associated with hallucinations.
