Resumen

El periodismo ha demostrado adaptarse rápidamente a las irrupciones tecnológicas, especialmente en los últimos años. La aplicación de los algoritmos y la inteligencia artificial (IA) a este ámbito es un fenómeno que se está desarrollando de manera vertiginosa en muy poco tiempo, de ahí que nos encontremos ante un área de investigación académica que, aunque lleva pocos años de recorrido, resulta de especial interés. El objetivo del presente artículo de revisión es trazar un mapa global y analizar la producción científica publicada sobre este tema y detectar qué países se ocupan más de este asunto, qué áreas son más estudiadas y desde qué enfoques metodológicos, averiguar cómo y hacia dónde evoluciona y cuáles son los vacíos existentes en dicha investigación. Se confirma, tras examinar 358 textos, que la atención de la academia ha sido considerable durante la última década, especialmente entre los años 2015 y 2020, y que Estados Unidos es, con mucha diferencia, el país con más publicaciones sobre este tema. La mayor parte de los trabajos publicados son artículos de investigación que han sido realizados, sobre todo, con metodologías cualitativas. Las áreas que han despertado un mayor interés hasta el momento son el periodismo de datos, la redacción mediante robots y la verificación de noticias. Como es de esperar en una disciplina en desarrollo, existen otras –como la revisión del papel del periodista, la personalización de contenidos o la incorporación de la IA a la enseñanza del periodismo– que todavía no han sido suficientemente exploradas pero que seguramente lo serán en un futuro no muy lejano.
