The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into education has the potential to transform learning experiences in Paraguay. Advanced algorithms can create more effective and personalized learning methods, yet the application of AI in educational settings is still in its early stages. Experts emphasize the need for a national strategy that addresses the various aspects of this technological shift, ensuring that Paraguay can keep pace with global advancements.

Despite the promising benefits of AI, significant challenges remain. Access to digital technologies is often limited by socioeconomic factors, gender disparities, and geographical location. The digital divide is evident, with many students lacking the necessary tools for effective learning. Even in developed countries, the use of technology in classrooms is not widespread, highlighting the need for comprehensive strategies that go beyond just providing infrastructure.

As the job market increasingly demands digital skills, higher education institutions must adapt their curricula to prepare students for future employment. Collaboration with businesses is essential to align educational programs with market needs. To ensure that Paraguay does not fall behind in this global transformation, it is crucial to promote public policies that enhance digital inclusion and equip educators with the skills to effectively use new technologies in their teaching.
