Objective: To explore the perception of university students on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools for the development of autonomous learning. Theoretical Framework: The research is based on Technological Acceptance Theory and Constructivism, focusing on the perception of AI in autonomous learning of university students. Method: Quantitative approach with a descriptive scope, the sample consisted of 665 students enrolled in the Faculty of Education Sciences and Languages (FCEI) of the Peninsula de Santa Elena State University (UPSE)-Ecuador; in the collection of information, the Questionnaire of Perception on the Use of Artificial Intelligence for Autonomous Learning was designed based on 4 dimensions of both variables, and the statistical program SPSS version 29 was used for data processing. Results and Discussion: The results indicate that students show a favorable perception towards the use of AI tools for the autonomous learning process, however, although AI is recognized as a potential tool in university environments, there are still challenges to be overcome. Research Implications: The study has practical implications for strengthening in students the digital competencies needed to effectively use AI tools in their autonomous learning. Originality/Value: The research provides data on the perception of AI tools among university students, offering a starting point for future technology integration strategies in universities.
