Anomias Jurídicas de la Inteligencia Artificial y el derecho a la educación inclusiva en el Cantón Píllaro

Abstract

This research addresses the LEGAL ANOMALIES OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE RIGHT TO INCLUSIVE EDUCATION IN THE CANTON OF PÍLLARO, focusing on an analysis of the impact of the lack of regulation of AI on the education of people with disabilities, based on the existing practices in the canton of Píllaro, on the understanding that, as a priority group, they merit specialized attention. This is correlated with the direct impact that AI has had on the academic sphere, which may entail risks regarding its mode of use—it can serve, on the one hand, as an educational tool adaptable to special needs, and on the other, as an instrument harmful to academic development. The research adopted a qualitative approach, which allowed for a systematic interpretation and study of the repercussions and barriers posed by the legal ambiguities of artificial intelligence. The primary method was the interview, which was directed toward gathering information from the institutional authority of the specialized education service in Píllaro, teachers specializing in educational innovation, and legal professionals in the constitutional field. The findings indicate that, although education laws promote the use of technology, in the Píllaro canton, tools related to artificial intelligence remain underutilized due to social, legal, economic, and technological barriers. For this reason, this study highlights the need for specific legislation on AI and for an update to Ecuador’s current regulatory framework.
