Resumen

This quantitative study aimed to examine the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on the academic ethics of Peruvian university students. To this end, a structural equation model (SEM) was applied to a sample of 406 students from six universities. The results showed that attitudes toward AI have a direct impact on academic ethics (β =0.33) and that indirect effects are attributable to conditioning factors (β =0.16). Like-wise, the perception of benefits is positively associated with the adoption of ethical practices (β =0.21), whereas trust in its formative use evidenced an unexpected negative effect (β =-0.03). The model exhibited a satisfactory fit (CFI =0.981, GFI =0.977, RMSEA =0.066), underscoring the need to develop strategies aimed at promoting the ethical use of AI in higher education.
