Abstract

Introduction: The objective was to learn about the use of various artificial intelligence (AI) tools in higher education students and identify how they perceive them. Methodology: A descriptive, non-experimental, and cross-sectional quantitative study was carried out with 152 students of Information Technology. Results: Students are not yet very familiar with chatbots or smart speakers for self-directed learning and do not consider themselves able to design an AI project without help. They consider intelligent virtual assistants to be clear and straightforward and that their performance would increase with AI in their subjects. Discussion: It is proposed that AI tools be implemented in higher-level subject programs to strengthen students' study techniques, that the AI projects developed by students be linked to their disciplines, and that there should be an adaptation to the curricula and faculty supervision to propitiate profitable exploitation. Conclusions: Limited adoption vs positive perception, Potential for improved academic performance, Training and skills development, Safety and confidence in using AI, and Opportunity for educational innovation.
