Abstract

The recent introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) in the educational field without clear guidance for educators has generated fear and concerns, such as academic fraud. In this regard, taking into account the contributions of authors such as Mollick & Mollick (2023), Vera (2023), Southworth et. al (2023), and UNESCO, a series of relevant recommendations are proposed regarding the opportunities and challenges that arise for implementing AI in university campuses. Among other things, it is concluded that there is a need for teachers to become familiar with the use of AI tools to take advantage of the opportunities that it brings to higher education and to encourage students to do the same, without neglecting critical reflection to make ethical use of it.
