Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of the use of artificial intelligence tools on the academic performance and emotional well-being of university students in Metropolitan Lima. The research was conducted using a quantitative approach with a non-experimental, cross-sectional design and a correlational scope. The population consisted of university students from different higher education institutions in Metropolitan Lima, from which a sample was selected through a non-probabilistic sampling procedure. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire designed to assess the level of use of artificial intelligence tools and their relationship with students’ academic performance and emotional well-being. The instrument was validated through expert judgment and its reliability was assessed using Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient, obtaining an adequate level of internal consistency. The results revealed a significant relationship between the use of artificial intelligence tools and students’ academic performance, as well as a positive perception regarding their influence on emotional well-being. It is concluded that artificial intelligence represents a technological resource with the potential to strengthen learning processes in higher education, provided that its use is implemented in an ethical, critical, and complementary manner within the educational process.
