This article is a review of an aspect related to one of the most discussed topics with reference to current students: the use of artificial intelligence tools in the academic writing process. Academic writing competence is a competence that is formed during the years of study by developing the capacities of analysis, synthesis, critical thinking, etc., so that the student ends up producing text going through several stages, which allows him to access a personal work, created under ethical conditions, with responsibility and copyright. The AI era offers possibilities that can shorten the time required to write an academic text, with reservations, however, for the training of the student, the ethics of his scientific approach, etc.
