This study explores the evolution and impact of research on the challenges and opportunities in the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in manufacturing between 2019 and August 2024. By addressing the growing integration of AI technologies in the manufacturing sector, the research seeks to provide a comprehensive view of how AI applications are transforming production processes, improving efficiency, and opening new business opportunities. A bibliometric analysis was conducted, examining global scientific production, influential authors, key sources, and thematic trends. Data were collected from Scopus, and a detailed review of key publications was carried out to identify knowledge gaps and unresolved research questions. The results reveal a steady increase in research related to AI in manufacturing, with a strong focus on automation, predictive maintenance, and supply chain optimization. The study also highlights the dominance of certain institutions and key authors driving this field of research. Despite the progress, significant challenges remain, particularly regarding the scalability of AI solutions and ethical considerations. The findings suggest that while AI holds considerable potential for the manufacturing industry, more interdisciplinary research is needed to address existing gaps and maximize its benefits.

El objetivo de este estudio estuvo orientado a evaluar el impacto de los programas de Bienestar Universitario sobre el rendimiento académico, permanencia y graduación de los estudiantes de la Universidad del Magdalena durante 2018. La muestra de este estudio la conformaron los estudiantes con matrícula académica en los periodos comprendidos entre 2014-I y 2018-II en la modalidad de pregrado presencial de una universidad pública de la Región Caribe de Colombia. La base de datos se construyó a partir de información proporcionada por distintas dependencias universitarias, como las relacionas con los procesos de admisión, bienestar institucional y desarrollo estudiantil y bases de datos nacionales como el Icfes y el Snies. De acuerdo con el análisis estadístico realizado, se encontró que los programas de almuerzos y refrigerios, la beca de inclusión y permanencia, y el programa de ayudantías académicas inciden de manera positiva en el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes beneficiarios y con intensidad moderada. Estos resultados sugieren, como futura línea de investigación, la necesidad de considerar variables cognitivas, motivacionales y familiares que también puedan explicar el desempeño académico. A partir de la discusión de los resultados de este estudio y de literatura previa, se destaca como importante profundizar en la investigación de los determinantes del rendimiento académico de los estudiantes, pero también será muy importante brindar mayor atención desde la academia al bienestar psicológico de este sector de la comunicad universitaria.
