Resumen

This research aimed to determine whether there is a relationship between the integration of artificial intelligence and socio-emotional development in university students from southern Peru. A quantitative, non-experimental, correlational, and cross-sectional study was conducted. The sample consisted of 1,172 students of both sexes, selected through non-probabilistic sampling, administered the Artificial Intelligence Integration in Learning Questionnaire and the Socio-Emotional Development Questionnaire, instruments with adequate psychometric properties. The results indicate that the integration of artificial intelligence was moderately adequate, and socio-emotional development was rated moderately. On the other hand, it was determined that Spearman's rho correlation coefficient between both variables was 0.352 (p<0.05). Finally, it was concluded that there is a direct and significant relationship between integrating artificial intelligence and socio-emotional development in university students from southern Peru. This implies that the appropriate use of artificial intelligence tools can enhance socio-emotional skills, fostering a more inclusive and dynamic academic context. Likewise, its implementation could serve as a strategic resource to improve students' social interaction and emotional well-being, contributing to the achievement of comprehensive development in the university setting.
