| Building Knowledge 📰
El artículo más reciente del reflexiona sobre el uso de la inteligencia artificial (IA) en la investigación cualitativa, especialmente sobre cómo el diálogo con herramientas de IA puede influir en la interpretación, la reflexividad y la construcción del conocimiento. Plantea que la IA no debería sustituir al investigador, sino funcionar como un interlocutor que ayude a cuestionar ideas, explorar perspectivas y hacer visibles aspectos que quizá pasarían desapercibidos.
