Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the technological pillars of Digital Transformation. This new technology is applied in various areas, including higher education. The objective of this research is to know the perception of 9th and 10th semester students of Industrial Engineering and Administration at UANL regarding the teaching and application of AI in higher education. First, an extensive documentary exploration of the subject was carried out. Subsequently, a mixed (quantitative and qualitative), exploratory, non-experimental and transactional design study was carried out. Two measurement instruments were designed, a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview script with the aim of finding out the students' opinion on AI. Sixty-four applied samples of the questionnaire and three interviews were obtained. The results indicate that 38% of the respondents consider that they know very little about AI, however, 44% consider that it is an indispensable subject in their university education. Likewise, students perceive high value advantages in the application of AI in education, such as greater efficiency in teaching and show a high interest in learning more about AI.
