Use of Artificial Intelligence in educational environments, analyzed through the fraud triangle model
Uso de la Inteligencia Artificial en entornos educativos, analizado mediante el modelo del triángulo de Fraude
Keywords:
Inteligencia artificial, triángulo del fraude, entornos educativos, presiones académicas, educación superior.Abstract
The research analyzes the integration of Artificial Intelligence in educational environments through the application of the fraud triangle, examining the interaction between opportunity, pressure, and rationalization. The study reveals that the accessibility and sophistication of AI tools have created an unprecedented scenario where the distinction between legitimate assistance and fraudulent use has become blurred. Contemporary academic pressures, along with intensified social and professional expectations, can drive students towards questionable practices with AI, while the rationalization of these behaviors is facilitated by the perception of these tools as legitimate aids for learning. The findings indicate that educational institutions face the challenge of keeping pace with technology that evolves faster than their policies, creating potentially exploitable regulatory gaps. The research suggests the need for a balanced approach that recognizes both the benefits and risks of AI in education, proposing a framework that integrates updated policies, the development of ethical digital skills, and the redesign of assessment methods adapted to the current technological reality.
