Abstract

This essay aims to discuss the importance of the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the education area, seeking to establish elements of dialogue between a tool, AI, and an important field of research, education. In the first place, it is important to distinguish between technological innovation as a broad concept and innovation in the educational area. These two concepts have been mixed in many debates, since the expansion of distance learning education model, caused by covid-19 world health crisis. After that, the concept of AI is introduced, which modernly began its process of global dissemination via generative languages, presenting complexities not yet fully understood in the educational context. Finally, the paper suggests that there may be a lack of technical competence in the educational area to deal with fast moving changes, proposed initially by distance learning strategy. Also, especially important, and urgent, there might be a creation of some regulation for the use of AI in the educational area; however, it depends basically on political will and political system to its implementation. If this situation does not happen, the outcome may be an increase of precariousness of the educational services, due to an absence of understanding, from part of some education market main actors, of their intrinsic competences of education, exposing latent problems of inability to provide minimum learning guarantees to the students, with a good and acceptable level of teaching.
