Abstract

The last year has seen an explosion of artificial intelligence tools that enable the gen-eration of all kinds of content, which has had a profound impact at all levels and par-ticularly in the field of education. These tools pose an unprecedented disruptive con-text in relation to access to information derived from their interactive, contextual and generative nature, whose implications probably go much further than other previous innovations and which require a reaction in the academic field, which must be based on clear policies and guidelines aligned with the principles of academic integrity and existing scientific evidence.
