Technology has evolved exponentially; Despite this, educational systems maintain artifactual visions that do not allow social appropriation of this from approaches of justice, democracy and transformation in the digital society. Thus, artificial intelligence has been gaining ground for its promise of bringing an infinite number of results to different questions quickly within the reach of a click. For this reason, the objective of this study was to analyze how educational actors in Ecuador use artificial intelligence, levels of knowledge and challenges that exist to have an approach towards social transformation. To achieve this, a mixed approach was used by applying 574 surveys to educational advisors and teachers from the Ministry of Education and three interviews with key informants belonging to the government, non-governmental organizations and academia. As the main findings, it can be mentioned that the majority of informants have had contact with this technology; But that does not mean that they know the challenges they imply from ethics, social and institutional relations, control and surveillance mechanisms that they face. One of the main categories that stands out from the interviews is the role that managers must take as educational leaders, the government and the creation of alliances to accompany and provide opportunities for teachers to develop reflections and projects contextualized in the institutions.
