Our Commitment to AI

At Tec de Monterrey, we aim to understand and apply artificial intelligence (AI) in education, seeing it as a key driver of innovation. We focus on helping our students develop both cross-disciplinary and specialized AI-related skills, preparing them for diverse professional and workplace scenarios, always from an ethical perspective.

Through research, education, and collaboration across disciplines, we promote AI-driven innovation, equipping our faculty and staff to use it efficiently and responsibly, ensuring a positive impact on our institution and community.

Our philosophy is to use AI ethically, respecting human dignity, promoting integrity and autonomy, and ensuring a safe environment aligned with our institutional values, addressing challenges and opportunities with agility. 

Discover the World of AI: Beyond Fiction

We’ve all likely heard the term “artificial intelligence,” but do we know what it means? AI is about developing technologies that enable machines to perform complex tasks requiring skills like reasoning, problem-solving, understanding language, and analyzing data. UNESCO describes it as a set of tools that mimic or even surpass some human capabilities, such as creativity, language, and logical reasoning. 

How does it work? AI is based on key principles: learning from data (machine learning), processing information through artificial neural networks, and optimizing decisions to make them more efficient. Thanks to these principles, AI systems can identify patterns, adapt to new situations, and improve their performance over time, mimicking some aspects of human thought processes. 

From ANI to AGI: AI That Transforms 

Are there different types of AI? Are they the same? What are they? Artificial intelligence (AI) is divided into two main types: Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI) and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

Responsible AI: Ethical Use

At Tec de Monterrey, we see technology as a powerful ally in achieving our educational goals. When used correctly, it facilitates access to information, creates knowledge, and opens doors to learning and social well-being. AI holds enormous potential to benefit our community, provided it is used ethically and responsibly in the educational processes, projects, and activities of our institution. 

As technology advances, we face significant challenges, such as ensuring data quality and understanding its impact on decision-making. While AI complements human work and boosts efficiency, it is crucial to use it responsibly to avoid biases and maximize its benefits. For this reason, we have created resources and guidelines to guide the ethical use of AI tools in teaching and learning processes.

The Future of AI

In recent years, AI has advanced significantly thanks to neural networks and large volumes of data. However, some experts believe that simply increasing the size of models will no longer yield significant benefits, calling for more creative ways to improve. 

Access to quality data is crucial for AI’s progress. Fields like biology and healthcare hold immense potential. Visual and video data will unlock new opportunities in areas like medicine, robotics, and automation. 

Another trend is the development of autonomous agents—systems that make decisions and adapt in real-time—revolutionizing sectors like logistics and education with smarter solutions. 

While we will see advancements in visual models with applications in medicine and security, challenges remain, including improving interaction with the physical world and common-sense reasoning. Tec de Monterrey is committed to preparing new generations to lead in this field, ensuring the ethical and fair development of AI.
