Capítulo 3: Inteligencia artificial y periodismo: retos y oportunidades

Chapter 3: Artificial Intelligence and Journalism: Challenges and Opportunities. The third chapter focuses on journalism, one of the fields most affected and transformed by the emergence of artificial intelligence. It analyzes how AI has been integrated into multiple phases of the journalistic value chain: automatic news generation, algorithmic data verification, personalized information curation, comment moderation, and trend analysis. We explore the ethical, professional, and democratic challenges posed by the automation of journalism: the delegation of cognitive and editorial functions to opaque and potentially biased systems; algorithmic personalization and the fragmentation of the public sphere; job insecurity and the crisis of traditional business models; the concentration of power in technological platforms and the erosion of public trust. At the same time, we examine the opportunities that AI offers for journalistic innovation: the liberation of repetitive tasks, the expansion of news coverage, the responsible personalization of content, experimentation with immersive narratives, and interdisciplinary collaboration. In this context, journalism is redefined as a field of resistance, critical deliberation, and the construction of informed citizenship.
