Resumen

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is reshaping higher education by enabling personalized learning, automating assessment processes, and enhancing student support. In regions such as the Peruvian Amazon, the integration of GenAI presents both opportunities and significant contextual challenges due to disparities in infrastructure, digital skills, and pedagogical training. However, there is a lack of qualitative studies exploring how university teachers in marginalized territories perceive the pedagogical implications of GenAI, especially after receiving targeted training. This study aimed to explore the perceptions of university professors from a public Amazonian institution regarding the impact, challenges, and educational opportunities of GenAI following a professional development workshop. A qualitative approach was used, analyzing the transcriptions of 35 video responses using IRaMuTeQ (0.8 alpha 7), an R-based textual analysis software. Results showed that teachers associated GenAI with enhancing academic rigor and student-centered practices, but also expressed concerns about ethical use and technological dependence. Key challenges included limited access to infrastructure, the need for pedagogical training, and digital equity in rural contexts. The analysis also revealed that teachers valued hands-on training and proposed contextually grounded strategies to integrate GenAI in their classrooms. In conclusion: a) GenAI is perceived as a pedagogically rather than a threat, b) ethical, technical, and contextual factors shape its adoption, c) professional development is essential to bridge knowledge gaps, and d) the Amazonian perspective offers unique insights into inclusive and sustainable AI integration in higher education.
