La automatización de la verdad: inteligencia artificial, mediación algorítmica y disputas epistémicas en la comunicación contemporánea

The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) in the contemporarycommunication ecosystem represents one of the most profound and disruptive sociotechnical transformations of recent decades. Rather than simply adding new digital tools to the productive routines of media organizations, platforms, or institutions, generative AI has begun to fundamentally alter the conditionsunder which public knowledge is produced, circulated, ranked, and legitimized. Communicative automation now affects more than just the speed of information processing or the operational efficiency of media systems; it directly shapes the social construction of truth, the production of epistemic authority, and the very definition of what is visible, credible, and verifiable within the digital public sphere.
