Resumen

Introduction: in recent decades, the accelerated advance of digital technologies has profoundly transformed educational processes, promoting the expansion of virtual learning environments that transcend physical and temporal barriers. Objective: to determine the relationship between the role of artificial intelligence in the adaptation of students to virtual educational environments. Method: quantitative and correlational, non-experimental design. Simple random sampling, with a sample of 376 university students who had studied at least one semester in virtual mode. Data collection was done through structured surveys with Likert-type scales, designed to evaluate the use of AI tools and the level of adaptation of the students. Results: aI in virtual educational environments showed a significant relationship with student adaptation, facilitating access to information and offering personalized learning experiences. Conclusions: aI enabled personalization of educational experiences, improving accessibility and making them more interactive. AI-powered learning assistants fostered active participation and greater understanding of content. The importance of avoiding over-reliance on AI tools and promoting interdisciplinary collaboration and real-time feedback to continuously improve educational environments was highlighted.
