Higher education is the last phase of the academic learning process, that is, the one that comes after the secondary stage. It is provided at universities, colleges or technical training academies. The education offered by higher education is at the professional level. The objective of the study was to analyze the management of Higher Education in the country and to describe the main activities of the institutions linked to these activities. The main results indicate that three institutions are the protagonists in management. The Secretariat of Higher Education, Science, Technology and Innovation (SENESCYT), the Council for Quality Assurance in Education (CACES) and the Council of Higher Education (CES). Higher education is one of the main drivers of societal evolution. Investing in education is vital to ensure a prosperous and competitive socioeconomic system. Higher education has a high responsibility to society: they are responsible for preparing the professionals of the future.

Artificial intelligence refers to systems capable of performing tasks, imitating human intelligence. These novel techniques are already being applied in various fields, and medical diagnosis is one of them. For this work, a bibliographic review of scientific literature was used. In this way, some relevant results that show the benefits of using artificial intelligence techniques in the medical field and the limitations and problems that still exist were addressed. The most relevant results indicate that, although there are limitations such as cost or lack of development, artificial intelligence has great potential in clinical diagnosis since it allows automating many analysis and decision-making processes, equating its precision to that of humans. Likewise, there is a promising outlook for these techniques since there is still much room for improvement and enhancement, starting from the academic foundations.
