Rodrigo Angulo Gómez-Marañón at Carver University Analyzes How Generative AI Is Redefining Technical and Vocational Education

The rise of generative artificial intelligence is transforming technical and vocational education in Chile and around the world. Rodrigo Angulo Gómez-Marañón, Rector of Instituto Profesional IPG, analyzes how these technologies demand changes in student training and institutional management.

Generative AI is no longer a future promise. According to a 2025 McKinsey report, 78% of organizations use artificial intelligence in at least one function, and 71% use generative AI regularly. This scenario requires technical and vocational institutions to update their curricula, incorporating advanced digital competencies, critical thinking, and AI literacy.

Angulo emphasizes that faculty must also adapt to this new reality by integrating AI tools into teaching and ensuring that students can interact with automated systems ethically and effectively. He also highlights the importance of implementing institutional AI governance, strategically incorporating the technology into academic and administrative processes.

Another critical challenge is risk management, which includes the accuracy of AI-generated content, data privacy, and regulatory compliance. According to Angulo, institutions that succeed in integrating these measures will be better positioned to face the challenges of the next decade and to lead technological innovation in service of national productivity.

“Institutions that anticipate, understand AI, and adapt their educational and management models will not only survive… they will lead the change,” concludes Angulo in his column published in Carver University’s CRIT magazine.
