Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) is a significant technology for developing complex competencies within equally complex environments, aimed at facilitating personalized learning and optimizing educational management. The application of this technology at CEIPA, which adopted a constructivist pedagogical model based on problem-centered learning units, seeks to prepare students to face real and diverse challenges inherent to the contemporary workplace. To assess the effectiveness of the GAI assistant known as UBI, a pilot test was conducted in 2024 with 458 students; subsequently, in 2025, it was implemented across 16 problem centered units involving 560 students. Digital diagnostic instruments were also applied to evaluate student usage, acceptance, and perception. The average satisfaction score was 7.20, and acceptance for the module’s continuation reached 8.26 on a 10-point scale, indicating a positive assessment. The results show that GAI supports the development of skills such as critical thinking, complex problem-solving, innovation, and strategic decision-making—all essential for navigating the uncertainty and complexity of today’s world. Automation and adaptive learning enable a more efficient and engaging educational experience, strengthening student autonomy and responsibility. In conclusion, GAI not only enhances the perceived quality of education in complex environments but also equips students to thrive in dynamic work contexts, fostering competencies relevant to the current era.
