Artificial Intelligence, Ethics, Digital Divide, Educational TransformationAbstract
This article addresses the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and ethics in education, highlighting the need for responsible and inclusive use of this technology. It analyzes how AI, following the emergence of tools such as ChatGPT , is transforming educational processes, from personalized learning to the automation of teaching tasks. However, this technological advancement also entails significant ethical challenges, such as data privacy, equity of access, algorithmic bias, and environmental impact. The article emphasizes the importance of training both students and teachers not only in the technical use of AI, but also in its critical understanding and the adoption of ethical principles that guide its use. To this end, it calls for the establishment of international regulations that regulate this technology, protect human rights, and promote a fair distribution of its benefits. The article emphasizes that the real challenge lies in integrating AI into education in a way that fosters critical thinking, promotes equity, and responds to current and future social needs.
