Abstract

Artificial intelligence has become an emerging technology with the capacity to transform contemporary educational systems, particularly in contexts characterized by technological inequalities such as the Mexican educational system. objective: To analyze the opportunities and challenges posed by the incorporation of artificial intelligence in education in Mexico, considering its pedagogical, technological, and ethical implications. methodology: A qualitative documentary research study of an analytical-interpretative nature was conducted, based on the systematic analysis of specialized scientific literature on artificial intelligence applied to education. results: The analysis shows that artificial intelligence offers significant benefits for education, including personalized learning, the strengthening of educational assessment processes, and the optimization of academic management tasks. However, important challenges were also identified, including the digital divide, the need for teacher training in technological competencies, and the ethical implications arising from the use of data and algorithms in educational contexts. conclusions: The integration of artificial intelligence into the Mexican educational system requires a gradual and reflective implementation that combines technological innovation with pedagogical and ethical principles.
