Abstract: The purpose of this essay is to analyze the implications of artificial intelligence (AI) in education, considering its potential and challenges. AI has the power to transform teaching, enabling personalized learning and improving the monitoring of student performance. Its implementation raises ethical, pedagogical, and didactic questions about the role of the teacher and the dehumanization of the educational process. AI can democratize access to educational resources, although the digital divide remains an obstacle, especially in low-resource settings. The use of educational technologies must be balanced to avoid reinforcing social inequalities. AI should complement, not replace, the work of teachers, who remain a crucial axis in the teaching process. Continuous teacher training is essential to manage these tools ethically. Future lines of research are proposed, focusing on the design of AI systems that promote critical pedagogy, the evaluation of the impact of AI on the development of critical thinking, and the reduction of the digital divide.
