Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has grown exponentially in the last few years. This could be a great opportunity for some areas since AI can contribute to minimise the time for optimising some engineering processes or to maximise earnings of companies. On the other hand, some experts are concerned about the abuse of AI in decision making. With the rise of AI in different areas, some careers may lose their sense of existence since AI can replace their work. In some universities the use of AI has been forbidden because it directly affects the understanding and learning process of students. Other universities, such as Tecnologico de Monterrey, promote the use of AI as a tool that can help the students and teachers in the process of teaching-learning. The present research presents different cases of success and failure of artificial intelligence, as well as dangerous situations in which AI should not be taken into account for decision-making, such as all decisions in which there must be a human sense. Also provides ethical aspects regarding the use of AI in students and teachers.
