Resumen

La evolución tecnológica ha resultado en una interacción cada vez más frecuente entre humanos y máquinas. En este contexto, con el objetivo de lograr experiencias más fluidas y empáticas con sus usuarios humanos, las máquinas han comenzado a incorporar características en su forma y patrones de interacción que remiten a atributos antropomórficos y/o antropomorfizados (o zoomórficos o zoomorfizados), impactando la interacción y generando percepciones de intencionalidad, empatía y capacidad de comprender y expresar emociones por parte de los seres humanos que interactúan con ellas. Este artículo teórico examina cómo la antropomorfización, el antropomorfismo y la empatía artificial modulan la aceptación y los riesgos en la interacción humano-máquina. Se discute cómo la simulación de emociones por robots e inteligencias artificiales puede facilitar la aceptación de estas tecnologías, pero también plantea cuestiones éticas sobre autenticidad y manipulación emocional. Aunque la emulación de emociones puede crear vínculos más fuertes entre humanos y máquinas, las emociones expresadas por los seres artificiales son programadas, no genuinas, lo que puede generar expectativas irreales y potencial manipulación del comportamiento humano, una preocupación particularmente relevante en contextos vulnerables como la salud mental y la educación.
