Abstract

This article explores how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be integrated into Service-Learning (SL) projects, analysing its use at three levels: as a central object, as a resource for project development and as a tool for planning and evaluation. It also reviews different educational approaches: educating with AI, educating about AI and educating to AI, highlighting the pedagogical implications in each of them. The text also addresses the ethical challenges related to the application of AI to SL, highlighting the need to ensure responsible use that promotes well-being without perpetuating inequalities or social exclusions.
