Level of attachment to artificial intelligence in university students

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is currently a widely used tool, but confusion between humans and computers could lead to erroneous behaviors and attitudes. Specifically in the field of education, AI can be a powerful tool, but its application carries a risk when it invades human functions. This article proposes the concepts of "Level of Attachment to AI," "Attributions of Human Qualities," and "Catastrophic Ideas about AI." It presents the results of a series of studies conducted over the past three years with the aim of thoroughly understanding these concepts, as well as the implications that over-involvement and excessive dependence on this new technology could have. The results show significant levels in each of the categories, which encourages further study, as well as the development and implementation of measures aimed at the healthy adoption of AI techniques and tools.
