Since its launch in 2022, ChatGPT has raised concerns in many educational institutions due to fears of increased cheating and plagiarism. However, institutions like IE University have decided to leverage the potential of this technology in education. At IE, students use artificial intelligence both inside and outside the classroom, guided by their professors, to prepare them for today's job market, where AI is essential. The integration of ChatGPT Edu into undergraduate and master's degree programs is free and supported by the administration. Furthermore, students have received training in digital skills, critical thinking, and the ethical use of technology. "It's not an enemy, it's an ally," says Begoña González Cuesta, Dean of Education and Academic Experience.
The integration of AI into education presents an opportunity to enrich the teaching and learning process. Institutions like IE University demonstrate that, with proper guidance, technology can be a powerful ally in training competent professionals adapted to the demands of today's market.
