La sociedad digital es más desigual

Senén Barro Ameneiro
Resumen

La digitalización y la inteligencia artificial (IA), en particular, están transformando de forma permanente y profunda la sociedad. En general pensamos que es para bien, pero también es notorio que está amplificando desigualdades existentes y creando otras nuevas, y esto ocurre ante la indiferencia o inacción generalizada. Se aborda el tema desde una visión global del mundo hasta el impacto en las personas, y poniendo en evidencia que las desigualdades se proyectan en todo lo que es importante para los individuos y la sociedad en su conjunto. Nos interesa el análisis, pero no queremos quedarnos ahí, por lo que se acaba apuntando algunos posibles remedios que merecen una oportunidad.
