Resumen

La utilización de algoritmos en las estrategias de los partidos políticos adquiere importancia sobre todo con los datos masivos (big data) y la automatización de la producción y circulación de contenidos en red a partir de datos personales. A través de un análisis cualitativo con entrevistas en profundidad a asesores y consultores políticos se estudia el alcance de la comunicación algorítmica, sus fortalezas, debilidades e implicaciones para la democracia, con el objetivo de diseñar un escenario real de la información robotizada. Los resultados confirman su implantación generalizada en los principales partidos españoles, si bien su grado de desarrollo es irregular. Los sistemas automatizados de información se están usando fundamentalmente para pre-producción y circulación del mensaje, y se comienza a implementar en producción. Los robots avanzan en su camino como infomediadores entre los políticos y los ciudadanos.
