The distributed structure of traditional networks often fails to promptly and accurately provide the computational power required for artificial intelligence (AI), hindering its practical application and implementation. Consequently, this research aims to analyze the use of AI in software-defined networks (SDNs). To achieve this goal, a systematic literature review (SLR) is conducted based on the PRISMA 2020 statement. Through this review, it is found that, bottom-up, from the perspective of the data plane, control plane, and application plane of SDNs, the integration of various network planes with AI is feasible, giving rise to Intelligent Software Defined Networking (ISDN). As a primary conclusion, it was found that the application of AI-related algorithms in SDNs is extensive and faces numerous challenges. Nonetheless, these challenges are propelling the development of SDNs in a more promising direction through the adoption of novel methods and tools such as route optimization, software-defined routing, intelligent methods for network security, and AI-based traffic engineering, among others.
