Resumen

Este artículo analiza las implicaciones éticas derivadas de las tecnologías digitales (TIC) y las infraestructuras
algorítmicas en la educación contemporánea, especialmente la inteligencia artificial (IA), los sistemas de clasificación basados en datos y los incentivos orientados al beneficio económico. Examina cómo estos factores transforman la conducta moral de estudiantes y docentes. A partir del concepto de “fantasmas digitales”,
entendido como las huellas de autoría, intención y autenticidad que persisten en obras mediadas o generadas por IA, se sostiene que los modelos educativos actuales propician una forma de responsabilidad poshumana
marcada por la erosión de la rendición de cuentas tradicional. Mediante viñetas empíricas, se exploran ejemplos
de decadencia ética, como la inflación algorítmica de citas, las tesis redactadas con modelos lingüísticos de
gran escala y un escándalo ocurrido en julio de 2025: la compraventa de filiaciones institucionales a través de
LinkedIn. Estos casos evidencian el rumbo preocupante que sigue la educación, donde la ética se diluye en los intersticios de un sistema tecnológicamente integrado. Cuanto más dependen las instituciones de plataformas y métricas digitales, mayor es el riesgo para la integridad y la responsabilidad académica. En este contexto, urge reconsiderar el significado práctico de la integridad y redefinir los marcos de responsabilidad ante las
transformaciones tecnológicas que reconfiguran la idea misma de lo humano.
