Desde el punto de vista del usuario final, la llegada de la Inteligencia Artificial (IA) se asocia con una mayor eficiencia y productividad en cualquier actividad profesional. Sin embargo, la conexión o desconexión que pueden experimentar los recursos humanos en relación con las máquinas ha dado lugar a un interesante debate sobre la realidad de la IA en el lugar de trabajo. Este artículo explora la ausencia de límites en los roles profesionales y cómo la confusión, el estrés, el tecnoestrés e incluso el aburrimiento son resultado de las actividades que los humanos se sienten relegados a realizar. A partir de una revisión de la literatura sobre Inteligencia Artificial en el lugar de trabajo, esta investigación plantea la generación y comprensión de competencias laborales y la adaptabilidad como medidas necesarias en el lugar de trabajo. Asimismo, también se plantean perspectivas de revisión y futuras acciones para las organizaciones. La sobrecarga laboral y la calidad del trabajo son elementos centrales en la fusión entre los colaboradores humanos y las IA; esta particular revolución industrial enfrenta presentes y nuevos perfiles y esta relación es central para entender el fenómeno.

Entrevistas, fundamentais para o exercício jornalístico e pesquisa qualitativa, capturam o significado profundo do pensamento humano. Em 2023, ferramentas de inteligência artificial (IA) se popularizaram, incluindo seu uso na gravação, transcrição e legendagem de discursos. O objetivo do estudo é identificar a IA mais adequada para transcrever gravações em espanhol, priorizando a completude das tarefas, eficácia e eficiência. A IA selecionada será aplicada a um corpus de 450 entrevistas curtas, que serão posteriormente codificadas e analisadas quanto ao conteúdo. O artigo foca em quatro ferramentas de transcrição com IA em espanhol: Office 365 (Word) Transcribe, Amazon Transcribe, Notta e Whisper. A tecnologia permite aproveitar a riqueza da gravação original sem a intervenção, e possível modificação, da pessoa ou assistente virtual que a transcreve. Os resultados destacam a rapidez da transcrição e a capacidade das IAs em processar e hospedar documentos escritos online. Em relação às possibilidades de interação com o texto, observa-se o papel fundamental das equipes de pesquisa na compreensão profunda e análise de conteúdo, com o suporte proporcionado pelas IAs nas tarefas de transcrição.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, digital interactions ceased to be “just another form of communication”; indeed, they became the only means of social interaction, mediated and driven by information and communication technologies (ICTs). Consequently, working in a digital context switched from being a phenomenon to be studied to the primary means of socializing and the primary workspace for researchers. This study explores four different methodologies to question how discursive interactions related to power and newsworthiness may be addressed in digital contexts. The multimodal approach was reviewed through the affordances of critical discourse analysis, issue ownership and salience, morphological discourse analysis, and protest event analysis. It starts by theoretically addressing concepts of multimodality and phenomenology by focusing on the implications of both perspectives. It examines publications and interactions in digital contexts in Ecuador from March 2017 to December 2020 within three political phenomena. The results of the analysis of these publications and interactions suggest that when analyzing political participation and newsworthiness, the virtual becomes a subjective space. Moreover, qualitative research is one of the primary ways to combine multimodality with other forms of discourse analysis. This paper concludes that perceptions, practices, and meanings assigned to social online representations can be better analyzed through multimodality, which tackles the intertwined characteristics of virtual discourses.

The profile of journalists and their competences can be reviewed in the light of the advances that digital technology has introduced in the profession. This paper aims to find a model for the construction of competencies and meta-competencies that deal with cognitive, personal, social and ethical elements. On the map of these skills the visions of scholars of digital culture, as well as academics related to cyber journalism will be placed. The objective will be to find a better understanding and a fresh vision on which areas should be rethought in the training and consideration of the profiles of journalists in the present and in the face of the coming changes.
