This academic work explores the use of generative AI through Chatbot GPT, Gemini, Copilot, and Meta AI in teaching customs and international law. This analysis was carried out with a particular focus on education on international free trade agreements and the primary laws on international trade in Mexico. The study's main findings show that Copilot is a valuable tool for searching for specific information on articles and laws on international trade. This purpose was achieved by applying prompts to obtain information on the content in question. Likewise, favorable results were obtained for the cases of Chatbot GPT and Meta AI. On the other hand, Gemini showed unfavorable results because it only showed general information on the topics that were requested and even provided erroneous information. These types of tools allow students to make more efficient searches and save time when searching for information. However, they can present erroneous or general results that force them to delve deeper into the subject.
