POTENCIALIDADES DA INTELIGÊNCIA ARTIFICIAL NA EDUCAÇÃO PROFISSIONAL E TECNOLÓGICA

Abstract

This article discusses the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Vocational and Technological Education (VTE), highlighting its role as a strategic tool in the face of transformations in the world of work and the challenges that mark daily educational life, such as the overload of teaching tasks, work-related illnesses, and the need for continuous updating in the face of emerging technologies. Based on a literature review, the research shows that AI, especially Large-Scale Language Models (LLMs), can support pedagogical practices by automating repetitive tasks, such as corrections and feedback, and by personalizing teaching according to students' needs. In addition to optimizing teaching time, AI contributes to more innovative methodologies, such as project-based and problem-based learning, blended learning, and simulation ui s. The results indicate that the technology favors the creation of interactive environments, promotes student autonomy, and assists in the development of technical and socio-emotional skills. Despite the potential, challenges such as ethical issues, privacy, technological dependence, and the need for continuing teacher training are highlighted. The study concludes that AI, when used critically, strengthens teaching and expands educational possibilities, becoming an essential resource for preparing professionals capable of working in a scenario marked by automation and technological innovation.
