The revaluation of traditional research versus Artificial Intelligence, in the generation of knowledge in the 21st century in Ecuador

Abstract

The creation of Artificial Intelligence is one of the greatest achievements of the present century, where, due to its benefits, it is a reliable and truthful tool for managing the vast amount of information existing in the global data network. In contrast to the technological benefits it possesses, traditional research has its preponderant place in the generation of knowledge in the 21st century, since it constitutes the personal seal of the researcher, being able to know facts and phenomena that have only been defined in the problem found, so its value is found 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 their great dependence on technology and its various applications in the global data network, makes AI a primordial element to enhance cognitive processes, so as the main result of this work, it is exposed how 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 traditional research supported by the benefits of AI, establishing its application limits for the achievement of the objectives of each assigned work or task.
