Abstract
With the disruptive emergence of Artificial Intelligences in the production of knowledge, new questions arise about the role that these technologies should occupy within the different spheres through which the past is represented. This article examines ChatGPT’s potential as a pedagogical tool for the development of historical thinking. For this purpose, we present the analysis of an interactive process around the historical event usually referred to as the Spanish Reconquista (711–1492). Through argumentative interventions, a dialogue is constructed in which the information provided by the AI is questioned, proving its ability to rectify and incorporate elements of historical thinking into its discourse. An ethical and multidisciplinary perspective is needed, which safeguards the responsible and beneficial use of these technologies in the construction and transmission of historical knowledge.
