Smart Tutors: improving the quality of higher education through AI

Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) are revolutionizing higher education through artificial intelligence (AI), offering personalized and adaptive learning experiences. In this sense, the study aimed to analyze the impact of ITS on the quality of higher education based on AI. For this purpose, a bibliographic review was carried out that explored the main trends around the current topic. Among the findings, it was recognized that ITS use advanced algorithms, such as data mining and Bayesian networks, which allow educational content to be dynamically adjusted to meet the individual needs of students, improving learning effectiveness and keeping students more engaged and motivated. . This integration was shown to significantly improve knowledge retention and reduce dropout rates through real-time, personalized interventions. In addition, a focus on the sustainability and scalability of these systems was evident, integrating sustainable design principles. These developments made it possible to ensure that intelligent tutors can be widely implemented in various educational institutions without losing their effectiveness, thus improving the quality of higher education in a sustainable and expansive manner.
