Artificial Intelligence (AI) is creating both opportunities and challenges in higher education. This article explores perceptions, concerns, barriers, and facilitators for integrating AI into academic activities. It focuses on a public university in Northern Peru, examining faculty opinions through interviews and focus groups. The findings show that faculty find generating texts and organizing activities with AI advantageous; however, some have concerns about its use, doubting its accuracy and truthfulness. They agree on discussing these changes and integrating them into the curriculum, seeking to overcome barriers through training to improve the perception and use of AI. Despite the potential and strong support of AI in the university, it is necessary to implement institutional measures.

In recent years, technological advances have significantly transformed educational practices. The development and adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbots in education have recently generated widespread interest from teachers and students. In this context, this research aimed to evaluate the potential of AI resources as an auxiliary instrument in improving dissertation-argumentative essays prepared by second-year high school students on Ecology. This is qualitative research, specifically of the action research type, conducted through three stages. The results show that chatbots can be used as complementary resources in the classroom, in addition to having the potential to optimize the construction of knowledge. Finally, it was observed that chatbots were able to facilitate the application of content and make assessments more engaging and productive.

The aim of this research is to analyze scientific articles about artificial intelligence (AI) in an educational context. These articles were located using Google Scholar and Science Direct and were written in Portuguese, English, and Spanish from 2021 onwards. In 2022, ChatGPT was launched, a technology that is part of the concept called generative AI, created by machine learning techniques. This type of tool, which has been the subject of many discussions, has also gained traction in educational institutions. As a result, governments in many countries, concerned about AI’s impacts, are attempting to regulate its use. Among these articles, studies about AI literacy, the training of teaching staff, the need to address the topic in an interdisciplinary manner, and starting from elementary school, stand out.
