Scientific education 4.0 and artificial intelligence: transforming scientific communication in the digital ecosystem
Keywords:
scientific education 4.0, artificial intelligence, scientific communication, educational innovation, sustainable developmentAbstract
Introduction: The integration of Scientific Education 4.0 and artificial intelligence (AI) faces challenges in resource-constrained institutions, such as the University of Oriente (UO) in Cuba, where technological and training gaps persist. The objective of the article is to demonstrate that the integration of this type of education with AI in the training of science managers optimizes scientific communication, strengthens professional ethics, and contributes to sustainable development. Materials and Methods: A mixed-methods approach was employed, including literature review, design of graduate programs, participatory workshops with 445 science managers, and data analysis using open-access digital tools. Results: Findings demonstrated that AI optimizes scientific communication by reducing textual similarities by 33% and accelerating article production by 40%. Science managers exhibited high levels of ethics and responsibility (mean score: 4.15 out of 5), though challenges remained in data visualization (mean score: 3.45 out of 5). Discussion: Implementation requires technological infrastructure and curricular adaptation, yet it democratizes access to advanced tools and fosters scientific literacy. Conclusions: The ethical integration of Education 4.0 and AI strengthens scientific communication, promotes equity, and aligns with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 4 and 9, offering replicable models for global contexts.
