This report describes the preliminary results of a questionnaire on the use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), conducted in November 2024 among faculty (n=2,069) and students (n=4,725) from the high school, undergraduate, and graduate programs at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (unam). The results highlight the widespread presence of GenAI among faculty and students. However, its use in academic activities is more prevalent among students than faculty. The main uses of GenAI tools for both groups involve obtaining and searching for information, followed by supporting teaching and learning processes. These findings highlight the need to train the university community in the specific and effective capabilities of generative artificial intelligence tools as to prevent its subutilization, and improper or unethical use.
