This contribution presents the results of a mixed survey conducted with students from the School of Collective Communication Sciences (ECCC) at the University of Costa Rica (UCR) during the first semester of 2024 to determine their knowledge about Artificial Intelligence (AI), its applications in their university activities, and its significance for their future careers. The survey was carried out using an online form that invited participants to answer a series of questions regarding students’ knowledge levels about AI applied to educational processes. Among the main findings, it is noteworthy that ChatGPT remains the preferred AI system among the student population, surpassing the national usage percentage of this digital tool by more than ten times. However, the levels of confidence regarding the quality of information obtained from these platforms are low.
