Perspectives on University Education in Times of Artificial Intelligence: A Quantitative Approach to Educational Impact, Digital Competencies, and Technological Attitude

Abstract

Artificial intelligence has transformed higher education, creating both opportunities and challenges in academic processes. This study analyzed the relationship between the use of artificial intelligence, the perception of educational impact, digital competencies, and technological attitude in university contexts. A quantitative approach was employed, with a non-experimental, descriptive-correlational, and cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 210 participants (students and teachers). A 28-item Likert-scale questionnaire was used, validated by experts and showing high reliability (α = 0.89). The results revealed positive and significant relationships between the use of artificial intelligence and educational impact (r = 0.68; p < 0.01), as well as relevant effects of digital competencies and technological attitude. The regression model explained 61\% of the variance, leading to the conclusion that artificial intelligence is a key factor in university transformation, conditioned by individual and technological variables.
