The revaluation of traditional research versus Artificial Intelligence in the generation of knowledge in the XXI century in Ecuador
Main Article Content
Abstract
The creation of Artificial Intelligence is one of the greatest achievements of the present century, where its benefits constitute a reliable and truthful tool for the management of the great information existing in the world data network. Faced with the technological benefits it possesses, traditional research has its preponderant place in the generation of knowledge in the XXI century, since it constitutes the personal seal of the researcher, being able to know facts and phenomena that have only been defined in the problems encountered, so its value lies in the amalgamation with Artificial Intelligence complementing each other, as well as exploiting the potential of each for the generation of knowledge, innovative ideas, and solutions to problems in the learning environment. In Ecuador, a country with little investment in education, as well as having a youth with a great acceptance of social networks and its great dependence on technology and the various applications in the global data network, makes AI a key element to enhance cognitive processes, so as the main result of this work, it is exposed as AI has maximized traditional research in basic general education, high school and university; while the main conclusion mentions how specific activities can be established by the Ecuadorian teacher-facilitator, which revalue the traditional research supported by the benefits of AI, establishing its limits of application for the achievement of the objectives of each work or assigned task.
