Abstract

This article examines, from a theoretical-analytical perspective, the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) systems in contemporary educational contexts, with emphasis on technological deployment, the pedagogical advantages identified in the specialized literature, the epistemological, ethical and social risks arising from this in- corporation and, above all, the urgency of a careful pedagogical regulation. Based on a bibliographic review grounded in reference authors in the field of education, educational technology and philosophy of science, it is argued that the uncritical adoption of intelligent technologies in school practices may deepen structural inequalities and undermine students' cognitive autonomy. It is concluded that the pedagogical regula - tion of AI, grounded in ethical, epistemological and democratic principles, constitutes an unavoidable imperative for such technologies to fulfil an emancipatory rather than merely instrumental function.
