Inteligencia Artificial Generativa (IAG) has made a promise of the future to become the motor director of learning in Mexico. According to the latest report from the Secretaría de Educación Pública (SEP), the impact is huge: 80% of university students use these tools to write texts and improve their academic results.
This phenomenon, revealed there “National Encuesta sober use and perception of sober generative artificial intelligence in higher education”marks the point of no return in the national education system.
CIFRAS CLAVE: HOW DO STUDENTS AND PROFESSORS USE THEM?
Considered the largest of its kind in the world with 1.27 million responses, the study summarizes the data that changes the SEP vision:
- Production of containers: 8 out of every 10 students create texts with AI, while 5 out of every 10 use it to create images.
- Daily adoption: More than 60% of the university community (graduates and faculty) implement AI on a daily basis.
- Academic Improvement: 7 out of every 10 users say their notes and performance have improved with this hardware.
- Creative potential: 82% say AI helps complete thought processes and teachers see it as an ally for reflection and creation.
“PSYCHOLOGO DIGITAL”: A SURPRISING fact
Even beyond thoughts and graphics, AI occupies an unexpected space: mental health.
SEP owner Mario Delgado Carrillo noted that practitioners like ChatGPT have become “the great psychologist of our time.” The data highlights this: 9% of students turn to AI for advice on anxiety, stress or depression, opening a new debate about emotional support in the digital age.
EL RETO: REGULATIONS AND CLEAR REGULATIONS
Due to the massive use, there is an important legal void. 76% of teachers in public universities admit that there is no institutional legislation to regulate the use of AI. Before that, the Undersecretary for Higher Education Ricardo Villanueva Lomelí emphasizes that artificial intelligence is not something pleasant, but a reality that requires:
- New rating models: It is not enough to calculate the final result, until the process.
- Bright lines: There is an urgent need to establish ethical regulations for the use of IAG.
- Teacher Training: Empower teachers to not be stifled by technology.
WHERE DOES EDUCATION GO IN MEXICO?
The proposal of the SVP not only strives for regularity, but also for balance. It is necessary to strengthen the humanities and social sciences so that technological progress does not obscure human critical thinking. You also need to reduce the digital divide so that no student is left behind in this revolution.
The invasion of AI in Mexico is not only changing the form of work; I’m redefining what it means to fully learn 2026.
