Artificial Intelligence, computer science, educational technology, information technologyAbstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) represents a set of tools and models that have recently experienced exponential development. Due to its diverse features, it has received a significant boost and has begun to be introduced in a growing number of areas with a wide range of uses. In developed countries, implementing new technologies related to AI in the educational sector has an obvious advantage regarding the path taken. This research analyzed the possibilities of implementing AI in the teaching-learning process from an early age in Cuba. Based on a bibliographic review of the most relevant background information and the triangulation of statistical data provided by state entities, the information was collected and processed, making it possible to provide examples and guidelines for inserting AI in the studied context. Finally, the conclusion was reached that, under the relevant ethical standards, the use of new technologies in teaching would constitute a very useful tool and allow for raising the level of performance of both students and teachers.
