Entrepreneurship education aims to identify and validate ideas and business models that have an impact on society. This study analyses the main challenges and implications of integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into entrepreneurship education in a university context. Using a qualitative approach based on a literature review, we analyse the pedagogical transformations caused by AI, as well as its impact on the development of entrepreneurial skills. We conclude that, despite the opportunities, it is necessary to ensure a critical and ethical approach to the use of AI, ensuring a balance between technology and humanisation in the process of developing an entrepreneurial mindset.
