Abstract

This study investigates the effects of artificial intelligence on decision-making efficiency, propensity for laziness, and privacy issues among university students in Mexico. Although education, like other sectors, has integrated AI technologies to address contemporary challenges, it is alarming that many research and institutions around the world only highlight the benefits of AI while ignoring its risks. This study uses PLS-Smart software to analyze data collected from 285 students at a business university selected through purposive sampling. The results show that AI has a significant impact on human decision-making and contributes to laziness. It also poses security and privacy risks, with laziness being the most affected aspect. The research argues for the need to take precautionary measures before implementing AI technology in the education sector. Ignoring fundamental concerns about AI could be detrimental. Particular attention should be paid to the design, implementation, and ethical use of AI in education.
