Generative AI: The power of the new education

The effective integration of generative artificial intelligence in education is a fundamental aspect to prepare future generations. This study proposes an accelerated learning methodology in artificial intelligence, focused on its generative capacity, as a way to achieve this goal. It recognizes the challenge of getting teachers to engage with new technologies and adapt their methods in all subjects, not just those related to AI. This methodology not only promotes interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, but also facilitates student understanding of the ethical uses and risks associated with AI. Students' perceptions of generative AI are examined, addressing their emotions towards its evolution, evaluation of its ethical implications, and everyday use of AI tools. In addition, AI applications commonly used by students and their integration into other disciplines are investigated. The study aims to provide educators with a deeper understanding of students' perceptions of AI and its relevance in society and in their future career paths.
