ACADEMIC INTEGRITY AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the teaching-learning process is seen as both an opportunity and a challenge. If, on the one hand, it makes it faster to find solutions, easier to unblock doubts and reduces research time, on the other, it limits a critical approach to the use of information and the construction of knowledge, does not identify sources, is not validated by peers and reduces the development of critical thinking.

This course will allow the use of AI tools with the following objectives in mind: Research into general theoretical constructs, concepts and definitions that allow students to frame their research and critical reflection on the subjects under analysis.

In this sense, whenever the assessment elements submitted have resorted to the use of AI tools, students must ensure compliance with the rules of referencing and academic integrity laid down in the law and regulations. Whenever necessary, by decision of the teacher and as an element of prevention of any type of plagiarism and/or academic fraud, oral tests may be requested which, confirming the occurrence of improper and unreferenced use of AI tools, will result in the annulment of the assessment element under analysis.
