The article carries out an analysis of the challenges for pedagogical transformation in the current context marked by the emergence of artificial intelligence. It begins by describing the historical evolution of the integration of digital technologies in education, which has been characterized by a growing availability and access to devices that has not been accompanied by substantive changes in dominant pedagogical conceptions and practices. This revealed a worrying gap between the incorporation of artifacts and the modification of nineteenth-century school formats. This tension was exacerbated by the abrupt transition to forced virtuality due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is in this disruptive scenario that the emergence of AI as a new paradigm takes place, with the ability to question multiple dimensions: epistemic in terms of knowledge production, pedagogical in terms of the meanings given to teaching and learning, and professional through the penetration of algorithmic logics in all areas of work. This comprehensive impact poses radical challenges to the traditional coordinates of school systems and requires a situated reinvention of education according to the digital age. Based on this, a framework of ten key digital teaching skills is proposed, ranging from understanding the role of AI in educational policy to training to work in automated environments. It concludes by highlighting the importance of addressing this challenge comprehensively in order to reinvent the meaning of education in the digital age.
