Este informe del Foro Económico Mundial destaca que en la nueva economía las habilidades humanas o centradas en las personas —como creatividad, pensamiento crítico, adaptabilidad y liderazgo— serán cada vez más esenciales para afrontar los cambios tecnológicos y de mercado, especialmente en un contexto donde la inteligencia artificial automatiza tareas rutinarias y redefine las necesidades laborales (Foro Económico Mundial, 2025). Esta perspectiva no solo subraya la importancia de integrar el desarrollo de competencias humanas en los procesos educativos, sino que también refuerza la necesidad de curar y seleccionar recursos educativos que fomenten estas habilidades en estudiantes y docentes, tal como plantean diversas investigaciones sobre la alfabetización y gestión de información en entornos digitales.

"Imagine you had an unlimited budget for individual tutors offering hyper-personalised courses that maximised learners’ productivity and skills development. This summer I previewed this idea – with a ridiculous and solipsistic test.
I asked an AI tutor agent to play the role of me, an Oxford lecturer on media and AI, and teach me a personal master’s course, based entirely on my own work." Via EDTECH@UTRGV

"In late 2022, when generative AI tools landed in students’ hands, classrooms changed almost overnight. Essays written by algorithms appeared in inboxes. Lesson plans suddenly felt outdated.

El artículo “Where Are You on the Ed Tech Maturity Curve?” plantea de forma precisa cómo la tecnología puede integrarse gradualmente en las instituciones educativas y destaca la importancia de enderezarla con los objetivos pedagógicos, lo cual es positivo porque refuerza la idea de que la tecnología debe apoyar el aprendizaje y no ser un fin en sí misma. No obstante, presenta una visión algo idílica, ya que no considera suficientemente las limitaciones reales del contexto escolar, como la falta de recursos, la brecha digital o la formación docente. En conjunto, es un buen marco de referencia, pero necesita una mirada más contextualizada para que la tecnología educativa tenga un impacto verdaderamente significativo.

El artículo plantea si las “clases particulares” con inteligencia artificial puede ayudar a reducir la brecha educativa, especialmente para alumnado que no tiene acceso a apoyo personalizado fuera del aula. En matemáticas, donde las dificultades se acumulan rápidamente, un sistema de tutoría que ofrezca práctica guiada y retroalimentación inmediata podría ser útil como refuerzo. Sin embargo, el debate no es solo tecnológico: el impacto depende de quién puede acceder a estas herramientas, con qué condiciones y con qué propósito pedagógico.
Una mirada crítica señala que la IA en educación puede ampliar desigualdades si se implementa sin considerar los factores socio-técnicos (acceso, transparencia, agencia del alumnado y del profesorado, y diseño centrado en las personas) (Bulathwela et al., 2021). En el marco de la educación digital, el reto es que la IA complemente la enseñanza, apoye el razonamiento y no sustituya la comprensión. Referencia Bulathwela, S., Pérez-Ortiz, M., Holloway, C., & Shawe-Taylor, J. (2021). Could AI democratise education?
