Sci-Fi Digital Narratives in the Classroom: Black Mirror's “Be Right Back” Case

2024 , Londoño Proaño, Cristián

This study examines the use of digital science fiction narratives, specifically the episode 'Be Right Back' of Black Mirror, as a pedagogical tool in the classroom. The aim is to analyze how these narratives can encourage critical and ethical reflection in students on issues of technology and humanity. Through non-participant observation, a content analysis was carried out focused on the ethical and emotional aspects of the episode. The conclusions indicate that this type of narrative facilitates the development of analytical skills and allows connecting contemporary concerns with the students' daily lives.

Can artificial intelligence replace journalists? A theoretical approach

2025 , Londoño Proaño, Cristián , Buele, Jorge

In the digital age, journalism is facing significant transformations due to the impact of artificial intelligence, a technology that optimizes processes, but also poses ethical and technical dilemmas. This study addresses whether AI can replace journalists or whether it should be considered as a complementary tool that enhances their capabilities. The problem lies in the increasing automation of journalistic tasks and its impact on the quality, ethics and professional identity of the sector. The research justifies its relevance due to the need to understand the scope and limitations of this technology to guarantee ethical and contextualized journalism. The methodology adopted is qualitative and based on documentary analysis. Academic studies, technical reports, and case studies were reviewed to evaluate the use of AI in newsrooms, highlighting its capabilities in automation, personalization, and data analysis, along with its ethical and operational limitations. Among the main results, it is identified that artificial intelligence is effective for tasks such as automated news generation and massive data analysis, but its inability to perform critical analysis and ethical decisions limits it as a complete substitute for the journalist. Likewise, their dependence on trained data perpetuates biases that can compromise the credibility of information. This study highlights that artificial intelligence should be conceived as a support for the journalist, enhancing creativity and analytical depth without compromising the essential values of the profession. It also underscores the importance of a synergistic collaboration between technology and journalists, including regulation and training to take advantage of it ethically and effectively.

Why should science fiction be learned in engineering education?

2024 , Londoño Proaño, Cristián , Perez Gavilanes, Veronica Maricela

This study explores the integration of science fiction in education, highlighting its potential as a powerful pedagogical tool in engineering and other scientific disciplines. By employing science fiction narratives and analogical models, complex concepts such as thermodynamics, energy, and entropy are made more accessible and engaging for students. The research demonstrates that science fiction can motivate students, promote active learning, and foster critical thinking. This interdisciplinary approach bridges the gap between theoretical principles and practical application, enriching the educational experience and preparing students to tackle real-world challenges with innovative solutions. The findings suggest that science fiction significantly enhances the educational process, contributing to the development of more competent and creative professionals.

Production of Video Clips by Indigenous Artists

2025 , Londoño Proaño, Cristián , Fernando Endara

The video clip has been adapted to the digital environment and has gained popularity on platforms such as YouTube. This study analyzes the technocumbia video clips of indigenous artists in Ecuador, using a mixed methodology to observe their production and cultural representation. The findings show that these video clips, in addition to entertaining, serve as commercial vehicles that incorporate indigenous cultural symbols, such as Andean landscapes, traditional dress, and the use of the Kwichua language. The research concludes that these video clips combine tradition and modernity, contributing to cultural self-representation and intercultural communication on the internet
