Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the use of computer systems that perform tasks that require human intelligence to generate learning experiences and optimize processes through software that feeds on information and algorithms that collect, process, apply rules and numerical models that interpret data. This includes natural language processing, robotics, machine learning, personalizing learning, adapting to student needs, and providing solutions to complex problems. This study defines the research objective to identify teachers' perception of the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the classroom. The research design was non-experimental and quantitative, applied to a sample of 50 professors who teach classes in higher education. The results report that 44% of the teaching staff almost always stays updated on technological trends, 48% know the learning dynamics of the students and 66% their adaptation capacities. In this intervention, the study concludes that the teachers have extensive experience in teaching and are in a transition stage towards the incorporation of (AI) in their pedagogical strategies.
