The growing influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in higher education poses significant challenges and opportunities for university educators. This article aims to analyze the uses and perceptions of AI among teachers at the University of Guayaquil in 2024. Using a mixed approach of interviews and surveys, teachers' knowledge about AI developments, their perspective on their influence on education, and the most affected educational areas are examined. The theoretical framework integrates perspectives of Rogers, Bourdieu, Latour and Bijker, addressing the diffusion of innovations, symbolic violence and socio-technical interactions. The results provide an integral view of how the teaching community responds to AI in higher education. In conclusion, the study contributes to the sociological analysis of technology-society interaction, exploring dynamics of power, adaptation and resistance in the academic context in the face of technological changes.

Keywords : artificial intelligence; innovation; higher education; society; technology.
