Abstract

Artificial Intelligence and Big Data have recently gained relevance in academic fields, raising questions about their application and usefulness. In this article we will analyze the meanings of these technologies and the implications of their use for pedagogical purposes. We will do so based on the most frequent questions that every new technology presents when it is intended to be used in education, and based on a bibliographic research that gives meaning and support to this approach, concluding in what we have known for long time now, and it is that technology is not worth by itself, but by the use we make of it.
