Abstract

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is playing a relevant role in different areas of our lives (information, health, leisure, etc.) although its understanding, knowledge and use vary widely among the population. The objective of this study is to know what future education professionals know about AI, what educational uses and applications they consider it has, as well as their opinion on its ethical and regulatory implications. The methodology used is quantitative in nature, with the questionnaire (designed ad hoc) being the instrument chosen to obtain the information. The participating sample is made up of a total of 164 students of different degrees related to education from the Universities of Extremadura, Valladolid and Castilla-La Mancha. The results show that most participants have basic knowledge about AI, have used it at some time, mainly to obtain information, make summaries or diagrams and believe that it can have positive implications in the educational field, likewise, they show concern for ethics. and transparency, considering a regulatory development in this regard necessary. Therefore, it is essential that educational programs are adapted to ensure that students develop a solid and critical understanding of this emerging technology.
