Abstract
A medida que la inteligencia artificial (IA) se integra cada vez más en los ecosistemas educativos, su papel en la adquisición, interpretación y aplicación del conocimiento plantea nuevas preguntas sobre la cognición, el comportamiento y la ética humanas. En lugar de volver a analizar la eficiencia o aceptación de la IA, este estudio examina cómo el público construye significados, responsabilidades y expectativas de gobernanza en torno a la IA como compañera de aprendizaje. Enmarcado en las políticas de educación digital y la gobernanza ética de la IA, desarrolla un modelo Cognición–Comportamiento–Ética (CBE) × Tres Etapas (Adquisición, Comprensión, Aplicación) para analizar cómo las discusiones en Reddit (2013–2025, N=10.503 publicaciones) reflejan reacciones colectivas ante el aprendizaje asistido por IA como fenómeno social. El modelado temático biterminal identifica tres dilemas: garantizar la fiabilidad informativa durante la adquisición del conocimiento, mantener la agencia cognitiva frente a la creciente dependencia de la IA y reconciliar la responsabilidad ética con las limitaciones institucionales y políticas en los contextos de aplicación. Los hallazgos muestran que la IA se construye como socia intelectual, facilitadora conductual e interlocutora ética, transformando el aprendizaje de un proceso pedagógico a uno socio-tecnológico de reflexión y negociación. El estudio amplía teóricamente la investigación sobre la aceptación de la IA y destaca la necesidad práctica de una gobernanza transparente, participativa y adaptativa que promueva entornos de aprendizaje responsables y centrados en el ser humano.
