AI technologies drive major shifts in Argentine higher education

Artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT and Gemini have rapidly changed the academic landscape in Argentina. Students, exemplified by 21‑year‑old Luis Miguel Trinidad, report that AI‑assisted learning boosts creativity, efficiency and collaborative problem‑solving, while institutions grapple with balancing these benefits against the need to preserve critical thinking and academic integrity.

Researchers at the Universidad Nacional de La Plata examined the rise of digital twins—virtual replicas of real‑world objects or systems—and highlighted their expanding applications across industry, health and urban planning. The experts warned that the technology also raises significant privacy and algorithmic‑fairness concerns, calling for comprehensive debate on its regulation and ethical use.
