It’s becoming impossible to disassociate artificial intelligence from our daily basic tasks, either by the need to recall or confirm information that we already have, or to add some information to an urgent response. In building future professionals, academia and teaching methods are not left out. How far has artificial intelligence come today and what can we expect in the future?
