Resumen

Este artículo examina la incorporación de la Inteligencia Artificial (IA) en las prácticas de investigación y escritura de científicos mexicanos. Se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a investigadores de las áreas de biología, ciencias biológicas y ciencias biomédicas. Se encontró que el uso más común de herramientas de IA es para mejorar, transformar y adaptar textos, especialmente en la corrección de manuscritos en inglés, facilitando así la publicación en contextos internacionales. Otros usos incluyen la búsqueda de bibliografía, el apoyo como tutor virtual, la interpretación preliminar de datos y la generación de código de programación para análisis estadísticos. Solo uno de los participantes utiliza la IA como asistente de investigación para definir objetivos y metodologías. Todos los participantes coincidieron en que la IA mejora su eficiencia. Sin embargo, también identificaron problemas significativos, como el plagio, la filtración de información y la deshonestidad académica. Varios denunciaron el uso indebido de textos completos generados por IA, práctica observada tanto en estudiantes como en investigadores consolidados. Ante estos desafíos, es fundamental implementar programas de formación, campañas de concientización y establecer lineamientos éticos actualizados. El artículo concluye con recomendaciones para mejorar la transparencia y la declaración del uso de IA en la investigación.
