Survey: How Should Universities Prepare for the AI Era? - Institute for the Future of Education

In January of this year, the Digital Education Council (DEC), in collaboration with Tecnológico de Monterrey, published a study it conducted with the participation of professors and students from 29 Latin American universities on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education. The results confirm a growing student adoption of AI, rising from 86% to 92%, while among teachers the growth was much greater: from 61% to 79%, an increase of 18 percentage points, compared to the 2025 global survey. Students express mature opinions on the use of AI. Although two-thirds of the students surveyed view it positively, 65% fear that its use will lead to superficial learning and discourage both critical thinking and creativity. The study indicates that students also understand the impact of this technology in the workplace: 73% expect to continue using AI in their future jobs, and their mastery of it makes them confident in their performance after graduation.
