Abstract

This article analyzes, from a qualitative and interpretive perspective, the challenges posed by the integration of Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education and its relationship with contemporary educational vanguards. The research problem focuses on the tension between the automation of pedagogical processes and the need to preserve the critical and humanistic meaning of university education. The object of study is the pedagogical transformation of Higher Education mediated by Artificial Intelligence, within the field of critical higher education pedagogy.

The main objective is to examine how educational vanguards address the challenges and opportunities arising from the incorporation of Artificial Intelligence, emphasizing ethical, curricular, and cultural mediation. Methodologically, the study adopts a qualitative interpretive approach based on a critical documentary review of recent academic literature (2023–2025), international policy frameworks, and theoretical studies in critical pedagogy and plural epistemologies.

The interpretive findings indicate that Artificial Intelligence does not constitute an educational vanguard per se but rather a catalyst for transformation that requires humanistic and critical frameworks to prevent cognitive homogenization and the erosion of academic authorship. The study concludes that a conscious and critically mediated integration of Artificial Intelligence strengthens academic autonomy, cultural diversity, and the formation of critical subjects in Higher Education.
