Análisis del impacto de la IA en el proceso educativo: Desafíos y oportunidades

Abstract

This paper is a product of the research Project "Impact analysis of AI in the educational process: challenges and opportunities" developed in the Francisco Jose De Caldas University in 2024. Introduction: The article analyzes the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on education, within the context of its increasing adoption accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. It highlights AI's capacity to transform pedagogical methods and address contemporary educational challenges. Problem: The integration of AI in education presents significant challenges related to equity in technology access, data privacy, and learning authenticity, potentially exacerbating existing inequalities. Objective: To evaluate the impact of AI on the educational process, exploring its potential to personalize learning, optimize administrative processes, and enhance student engagement, as well as its ethical and practical limitations. Methodology: The study is based on a systematic analysis of recent academic literature, identifying trends in AI use during the pandemic and assessing its impact across different educational levels through a documentary review of empirical and theoretical data. Results: AI has improved learning personalization, increased student engagement by up to 70%, and freed up teacher time by automating administrative tasks. However, its implementation highlights technological and ethical gaps, particularly in resource-limited regions. Conclusion: AI is a powerful tool for transforming education but requires strategies to ensure its equitable and ethical implementation, mitigating risks of digital exclusion and privacy issues. Originality: This analysis provides a comprehensive view of AI's role in education, emphasizing both opportunities and challenges for its sustainable implementation. Limitations: The research faces limitations in accessing empirical data on AI adoption in diverse socioeconomic contexts.
