Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has made significant progress in education in general. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the application of AI in Higher Education (HE) through an analysis of the impact, factors, and relationship between the use of AI and learning. A bibliographic review was conducted using the PRISMA method and a qualitative approach. 115 Scientific Articles (SA) were identified, filtered, correlated, and analyzed. Finally, a description of the SA selected for the study was generated. Regarding the impact of AI use in higher education, it was found that the application of AI tends to strengthen and reinforce student learning. However, teachers need to update their knowledge to ensure the responsible use of AI in higher education. Technological, pedagogical, human, and ethical factors were identified as those that influence learning processes. These factors have the power to promote or regulate the use and effectiveness of AI in education. After analyzing the relationship between the impact of AI and learning, it was found that AI, when used appropriately, can strengthen and provide feedback on learning. Furthermore, there are potential risks related to the lack of human autonomy and critical thinking. It is recommended that the use of AI be included in higher education to efficiently integrate technological advances into learning.
