En este artículo exploramos la naturaleza relacional de la confianza en los sistemas de inteligencia artificial aplicados al ámbito médico. Frente a los enfoques que tienden a localizar la confianza en propiedades individuales —ya sea del sujeto que confía o del objeto en quien se confía—, proponemos comprenderla como un fenómeno emergente que solo puede desplegarse plenamente en la interacción entre humanos y tecnologías. Analizamos críticamente…
The role of LLMs in theory building
Large linguistic models, such as GPT-3.5 and subsequent versions (e.g. GPT-4 or GPT - 4o ), have shown impressive abilities in generating human-like text and performing a variety of natural language processing tasks. However, a fundamental question in the field of artificial intelligence is whether these models can truly represent meaning and assist scientists in building scientific theories. This paper aims to address this question by conducting…
Comparing logical and emotional arguments for disaster mitigation
This study focuses on the critical role of emotional and rational arguments in mobilising public action against existential threats, catastrophes and other disasters to humanity. A study was conducted involving 118 participants, to examine the differential impact of emotional versus logical appeals. A scenario or vignette on the threat and risks of climate change was presented, and participants were presented with arguments designed to evoke emot…
Scientifically Together, Politically Apart
Science education is generally perceived as a key facilitator in cultivating a scientifically literate society. In the last decade, however, this conventional wisdom has been challenged by evidence that greater scientific literacy and critical thinking skills may in fact inadvertently aggravate polarization on scientific matters in the public sphere. Supporting an alternative “scientific update hypothesis,” in a series of studies (total N = 2087)…
Using Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) in emergency clinical situations against patient's autonomy
In this paper, we present a comprehensive case study analysis of a specific legal order issued by the Court of First Instance Number 6 of Santiago de Compostela on March 21, 2023. The focal point of the case study is the utilization of Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT), a specific neurotechnology, in an emergency clinical situation. The objective of this article is to examine the legal and bioethical dimensions surrounding the use of ECT, shedding …
Perceptions of health care perceptions regarding trust in medical artificial intelligence in Spain

Entre octubre y noviembre de 2024 se aplicó una encuesta transversal en línea a 165 profesionales y estudiantes del sector sanitario. Las viñetas clínicas describían situaciones de diagnóstico, pronóstico y apoyo terapéutico asistidos por inteli…
Why whole body gestational donation must be rejected
Anna Smajdor’s proposal of whole body gestational donation (WBGD) states that female patients diagnosed as brain-dead should be considered for use as gestational donors. In this response, Smajdor’s proposal is rejected on four different accounts: (a) the debated acceptability of surrogacy despite women's autonomy, (b) the harm to dead women ́s interests, (c) the interests of the descendants, and (d) the symbolic value of the body and interests of…
Attitudes about Brain–Computer Interface (BCI) technology among Spanish rehabilitation professionals
To assess—from a qualitative perspective—the perceptions and attitudes of Spanish rehabilitation professionals (e.g. rehabilitation doctors, speech therapists, physical therapists) about Brain–Computer Interface (BCI) technology. A qualitative, exploratory and descriptive study was carried out by means of interviews and analysis of textual content with mixed generation of categories and segmentation into frequency of topics. We present the result…
AI Ethics for Sustainable Development Goals
We live in an era where problems are global in scale (e.g., climate change) and solutions must also be coordinated on a global scale in the international context. The 2030 agenda for sustainable development goals (SDGs) was ratified in 2015 as a continuation of the millennium development goals (MDGs). In this sense, the SDGs, as MDGs were in their day, are a global mechanism that urges governments to coordinate to address global problems. At the …
Science, misinformation and digital technology during the Covid-19 pandemic
Inteligencia Artificial para el bien común (AI4SG)
Frente a una narrativa distópica presente en los medios de comunicación y cultura popular que caracteriza el avance y desarrollo de la inteligencia artificial como una amenaza o riesgo existencial (e.g. desempleo tecnológico, sistemas de armas autónomas letales, robots asesinos, propaganda política computacional etc.) quiero valorar de manera crítica y constructiva el rol de la inteligencia artificial para el bien común (AI4SG).

The Natural-Artificial Distinction and the Technologization of Sport
The natural-artificial distinction is not only an abstract metaphysical question dedicated to classifying and differentiating between entities and phenomena that occur in nature from man-made objects. The distinction between the natural and the artificial is central to the philosophy of technology and an interesting heuristic to discuss important notions about the growing process of technologization in sport. For example, if one accepts the natur…
How do people use ‘killing’, ‘letting die’ and related bioethical concepts? Contrasting descriptive and normative hypotheses
Bioethicists involved in end‐of‐life debates routinely distinguish between ‘killing’ and ‘letting die’. Meanwhile, previous work in cognitive science has revealed that when people characterize behaviour as either actively ‘doing’ or passively ‘allowing’, they do so not purely on descriptive grounds, but also as a function of the behaviour’s perceived morality. In the present report, we extend this line of research by examining how medical student…
Bases neuronales de la moralidad humana
La neurociencia cognitiva moderna es un campo de investigación que se centra en estudiar las bases neuronales de rasgos humanos únicos como la moralidad y la habilidad para tomar decisiones morales. La investigación reciente muestra que un grupo consistente de redes neuronales están implicadas en la cognición moral. En este escrito, realizo una revisión del estado de la cuestión sobre lo que sabemos de las principales áreas cerebrales asociadas c…
Traducir el pensamiento en acción
En este artículo, nos proponemos dos objetivos: el primero, describir la teoría clásica de la agencia intencional y cómo la neurotecnología de las interfaces cerebro-máquina desafía los requisitos de la teoría clásica de la agencia y de la consciencia corporal. La neurotecnología de las interfaces cerebro-máquina funciona implantando electrodos directamente en el área de la corteza motora del cerebro que controla el movimiento, y está diseñada pa…
Internet y cognición social = Internet and social cognition
La naturaleza social del ser humano predice que solo relaciones relativamente débiles pueden mantenerse sin una interacción cara-a-cara. La revolución digital y la omnipresencia de la tecnología nos permiten comunicarnos, entretenernos, jugar, y obtener información sin interactuar con otras personas. Varios autores sostienen que el uso de Internet produce cambios en nuestras emociones, mente y comportamiento causando un déficit en nuestra capacid…
Qué es cultura en la «economía de la cultura»? Definiendo la cultura para crear modelos mensurables en economía cultural
El concepto de cultura es bastante vago y ambiguo para los objetivos formales de la economía. En este escrito se pretende definir y acotar mejor el espacio semántico de la idea de cultura para ayudar a crear explicaciones económicas basadas en la cultura dirigidas a medir el retorno e impacto económico y social de toda actividad o creencia asociada a la cultura. Por cultura, de acuerdo con la definición evolutiva canónica, se entiende cualquier t…
The social cognition of auditory verbal hallucinations
Traditionally, auditory verbal hallucinations have been studied as an individualistic phenomena because they occur from within a single individual although they are experienced as a social phemenon, say, a hearer and a speaker interacting in a communicative exchange. This is what Vaughan Bell calls an “interesting paradox”. Despite the omission in research and in the neuropsychiatric literature current neurocognitive models points to the fact tha…
Análisis filosófico de las ilusiones psicopatológicas
Durante muchos años las enfermedades mentales han sido vetadas del análisis filosófico. Afortunadamente, las modas filosóficas y el interés académico hoy ha cambiado y reconocen la importancia de la enfermedad mental (como paradigma de la disrupción mental) para el estudio del funcionamiento normal de la mente. Por esta razón, cualquier teoría contemporánea en filosofía de la mente debe tener en consideración una imagen detallada de lo que signif…
