This study examines the potential role of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen-AI) in extending the Socialization, Externalization, Combination, and Internalization (SECI) model within knowledge management. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of studies published between 2024 and 2026, it maps the functions of technologies such as Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and Logic Augmented Generation (LAG) into Nonaka and Takeuchi’s knowledge spiral. The findings indicate that Gen-AI can support knowledge processes such as retrieval, interpretation, structuring, and integration, which may contribute to more continuous and digitally mediated knowledge flows. Some reviewed studies report improvements in handling tacit and explicit knowledge; for example, a simulation-based study reports a tacit knowledge recall rate of up to 94.9%, although this result is derived from a specific experimental context and should not be generalized. The review also identifies challenges, including AI-generated inaccuracies, overreliance on automated systems, and data security concerns, highlighting the continued importance of human oversight. This study contributes a conceptual mapping of a Generative AI-based Knowledge Framework (GRAI) as an extension of the SECI model; however, this contribution remains theoretical and requires further empirical validation across organizational contexts.
