Educating in a world of Artificial Intelligence: challenges and opportunities from UP.

Mexico City, November 25, 2024.- Artificial Intelligence (AI) is marking a before and after in the way in which education is conceived globally, and the Universidad Panamericana is positioned as a benchmark in this paradigm shift.

Through cutting-edge research and academic projects, Panamericana seeks not only to embrace emerging technologies, but also to explore their potential to improve educational and administrative processes. explore their potential to improve educational and administrative processes..

Personalization and learning optimization

At a recent conference, held on the Mexico City campus, Dr. Dr.. Lourdes Martínez Villaseñoracademic head of the Master's Degree in Data Scienceemphasized that the personalization of learning is one of the major contributions of AI to education.

According to the researcher, this technology makes it possible to design content tailored to the individual needs of each student, promoting more efficient and meaningful learning. "AI allows us to create tools that adapt educational content to the specific needs of each student," she said.she said.

These innovations not only improve academic results, but also make it easier for students to learn at their own pace.

Administrative efficiency and pedagogical innovation

At Aguascalientes campusDr. Claudia Nallely Sánchez Gómez Dr. Claudia Nallely Sánchez Gómezresearch secretary of the Faculty of Engineeringhighlighted the potential of Artificial Intelligence to optimize administrative and optimize administrative and pedagogical processes in educational institutions.

From automating administrative tasks to real-time reporting, these tools free teachers from operational burdens, allowing them to focus on strategic and creative activities. "AI not only lightens the administrative burden, but also allows teachers to focus on more meaningful activities."Dr. Sanchez explained.

On the other hand, pedagogical innovation also finds fertile ground with the implementation of AI. According to Dr. Sanchez, engineers play a crucial role in the development of these technologies by designing systems that integrate generative AI models and deep learning to solve complex problems in to solve complex problems in educational environments.

"We are exploring how AI tools can help predict learning trends and develop interactive simulators that enrich the educational experience"he said.

Responsible ethics for an inclusive future

As these technologies are integrated into educational processes, their ethical implementation becomes a priority. Dr. Lourdes Martinez emphasized the importance of protecting the privacy of student data and preventing possible biases in algorithms. "Ethics in AI is essential to ensure that this technology benefits everyone and excludes no one", he stressed.

Her commitment to this vision has earned her the North America 2023 Responsible Artificial Intelligence Woman Leader Award, a recognition of her work for inclusive and equitable technological development.in recognition of her work for inclusive and equitable technological development.

Towards a new educational era

The Universidad Panamericana envisions a future in which AI plays a central role in creating immersive and personalized learning experiences. Tools such as chatbots intelligent chatbots, automated assessment systems, and platforms that combine augmented reality with AI are some of the innovations in development.

"Our goal is to prepare future professionals to not only use these tools, but also to contribute to the development of innovative solutions that positively impact society"concluded Dr. Sanchez.

With a combination of academic rigor, ethical commitment and technological innovation, Universidad Panamericana reaffirms its role as a leader in educational transformation. This is only the beginning of a journey in which Artificial Intelligence promises to redefine the horizons of learning and knowledge.
