Abstract
El artículo aborda la desinformación como un fenómeno que va mucho más allá del término “noticias falsas”, conocido cada vez más en su modismo anglosajón `Fake news´. Estos términos han sido apropiados y usados engañosamente por poderosos actores para desestimar la cobertura informativa dando lugar a una completa desinformación y, por tanto, a una caída vertiginosa de la credibilidad de las organizaciones de noticias. La desinformación incluye todas las formas de lo falso, información inexacta o engañosa diseñada, presentada y promovida para causar intencionalmente daño público o con fines de lucro. Para contrarrestar este fenómeno, instituciones, organizaciones, medios de comunicación y gobiernos vienen promoviendo diversas iniciativas. Muchas de estas iniciativas recalan en la inteligencia artificial que, con el arte de los algoritmos, diseñan y desarrollan bots y plataformas cuyo objetivo es luchar contra la toxicidad de la información. El artículo analiza los principales desarrollos de bots utilizados para minimizar el impacto de las fake news.
The article addresses the understanding of misinformation as a phenomenon that goes far beyond the term “false news”, increasingly known in Anglo-Saxon idiom `Fake news’. These terms have been appropriate and misleadingly used by powerful actors to dismiss the information coverage leading to complete disinformation and, therefore, to a dizzying fall in credibility. Disinformation, as we discussed in this article, includes all forms of false, inaccurate or misleading information designed, presented and promoted to intentionally cause public harm or for profit. To counteract this phenomenon, institutions, organizations, universities and governments have been promoting various initiatives. Many of these initiatives are based on artificial intelligence that, with the art of algorithms, design and develop bots and platforms whose objective is to fight against the toxicity of information. The article analyzes the main developments of bots used to minimize the impact of fake news.
