Resumen

Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are increasingly present across various fields, including education. While AI offers potential benefits, such as flexibility and personalized learning, its limitations and ethical concerns remain under examination. This study conducts a cross-sectional analysis of AI perceptions among students and teachers at a Bolivian university. Findings reveal that students frequently use AI in their coursework, yet they encounter practical limitations, and the impact on academic performance remains modest. Additionally, teachers express concerns over responsible use, highlighting challenges in maintaining ethical standards in educational settings. This study underscores the need for balanced integration of AI tools in education, addressing potential enhancements to student engagement and the ethical considerations crucial for sustainable application.
