Lo sé, pero me lo imagino... Historias algorítmicas en los márgenes del periodismo. (Spanish)
- Abstract:
Research on algorithmic knowledge has primarily focused on professional users or so-called ordinary people. This segmentation highlights a gap in studying those who fall in between. To fill this gap, we conducted research among journalism students pursuing higher education in journalism who found themselves on the "borderline": they are no longer "ordinary" users, but are not yet professional specialists. Drawing from latest research we have formulated a theoretical concept of "algorithmic stories on the borderline of journalism". Through 41 semi-structured interviews with journalism students recruited through snowball sampling, we found that journalism students' knowledge of AI consisted of imaginaries: ranging from those closely related to the realities of journalism to conspiracy theories. Students perceive knowledge of how social media works as something natural, almost intuitive, coming from many years of experience. On the other hand, journalism studies play a key role in learning the mechanisms of news sites. Among the sources of knowledge, scientific sources are almost absent. In conclusions, we formulate recommendations for efforts to provide future journalists with reliable knowledge about Artificial Intelligence in journalism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
- Abstract:
La investigación sobre el conocimiento algorítmico se ha centrado principalmente en los usuarios profesionales o en las 'personas normales'. Para llenar este vacío, hemos realizado un estudio entre estudiantes de periodismo, que se encuentran en medio: ya no son 'usuarios habituales', pero aún no son profesionales especializados. Al realizar 41 entrevistas semiestructuradas a estudiantes de periodismo reclutados mediante el método de la bola de nieve, descubrimos que el conocimiento de los estudiantes de periodismo sobre la inteligencia artificial consta de percepciones: desde las estrechamente relacionadas con las realidades del periodismo hasta las teorías conspirativas. Los estudiantes encuestados perciben el conocimiento del funcionamiento de las redes sociales como algo natural, casi intuitivo, derivado de años de experiencia. Por otro lado, los estudios de periodismo desempeñan un papel clave en el aprendizaje de los mecanismos de los sitios web de noticias. Entre las fuentes de conocimiento, las científicas están casi ausentes. Como conclusión, formulamos recomendaciones para las actividades destinadas a dotar a los futuros periodistas de un conocimiento sólido de la inteligencia artificial en el periodismo.
