It is highlighted that, despite the significant advances in AI, the role of the teacher continues to be fundamental in the educational process. The challenges and opportunities that AI presents in the educational field are addressed. It is mentioned that the AI can personalize the learning experience, adapting to the individual needs of the students, in addition, it can improve the evaluation and provide instant feedback. However, there is also a need to address ethical considerations in the use of AI in class. It is emphasized that AI in education does not seek to replace the teacher, but to strengthen their role. The teacher remains crucial in guiding, motivating, and developing higher-order and critical and reflective thinking skills in students, taking advantage of the opportunities that AI offers to improve teaching and learning.
