Artificial intelligence in education: applications, proposals and challenges

Overview & Synopsis

This book provides a multidimensional analysis of the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within the contemporary educational ecosystem. Across 13 chapters, the authors examine topics ranging from the reconfiguration of lesson planning and cognitive load reduction to the ethical impact of generative AI on assessment and vocational guidance. Through case studies in diverse disciplines—including Political Science, Food Chemistry, Programming, and Language Acquisition—the dichotomy between student autonomy and the challenges of digital literacy in the face of misinformation is explored. The volume not only documents practical applications and active methodologies, such as gamification, but also offers a critical perspective on employability and academic community perceptions. This work stands as a roadmap for understanding the educational transformation in 2026.
