IA en Fake News – Elecciones 2026: Expertos y autoridades proponen acciones para enfrentar la desinformación durante el proceso electoral

En un contexto electoral marcado por la masificación de las redes sociales y la aparición de nuevas tecnologías, la Escuela de Posgrado de la Universidad Continental, en alianza con Infobae, organizó el panel “IA y fake news en las elecciones 2026”. El encuentro reunió a expertos de diversos campos para analizar el fenómeno de la desinformación y plantear estrategias que contribuyan a preservar la integridad informativa durante las próximas elecciones generales en el Perú.
Walter Curioso Vílchez, vicerrector de Investigación de la Universidad Continental, destacó que la convocatoria buscó unir los esfuerzos de la academia, la sociedad civil y organismos como el Jurado Nacional de Elecciones. Según afirmó, “la academia debe propiciar este tipo de discusiones y fortalecer las competencias de alfabetización en la ciudadanía”, especialmente ante un país que figura entre los que más consumen redes sociales a nivel mundial.
El evento contó con la presencia de expertos en derecho digital, políticas públicas, periodismo e innovación tecnológica, además de representantes de organismos estatales. Entre los panelistas estuvieron Erick Iriarte Ahon (especialista en Derecho Informático), José Andrés Tello Alfaro (exministro de Justicia), Enrique Chávez Durán (director periodístico de Caretas), Maite Vizcarra (especialista en innovación tecnológica), Diana Sánchez Arteaga (coordinadora de Fact-Checking del JNE) y Marilyn Corrales Valqui (editora general de Infobae Perú).
La preocupación principal de los expositores giró en torno al impacto de las deepfakes, las noticias falsas y las campañas de manipulación digital, que pueden distorsionar la voluntad popular, debilitar la confianza en el sistema democrático y acentuar la fragmentación social. El contexto de las Elecciones Generales de 2026 resulta particularmente decisivo: el padrón electoral aumenta con seis millones de jóvenes votantes, de los cuales 2,5 millones acudirán a las urnas por primera vez, conformando un segmento especialmente expuesto a la desinformación digital.

Walter Curioso Vílchez subrayó que la responsabilidad de combatir las fake news y la desinformación recae en múltiples actores sociales. “La ciudadanía cumple un rol importantísimo porque son quienes consumen y también generan información. Es fundamental hacerlo de manera responsable, ética y salvaguardando los lineamientos de protección de datos personales”. Recalcó además la importancia de que las instituciones educativas formen liderazgos capaces de emplear tecnologías como la inteligencia artificial “para fortalecer la verdad y no para distorsionarla”.
El vicerrector enfatizó que la aparición de la inteligencia artificial ha multiplicado exponencialmente la velocidad y el alcance de la desinformación, impulsando la necesidad de formar “una ciudadanía ética, educada, informada y responsable: la mejor defensa frente a las fake news no es el silencio, sino el pensamiento crítico y la educación”.
Por su parte, Diana Sánchez Arteaga, coordinadora de Fact-Checking del Jurado Nacional de Elecciones (JNE), describió el trabajo que realiza la institución para identificar y contrarrestar los contenidos falsos que circulan durante la campaña. Explicó que el JNE reactivó en 2025 su Comité de Fact-Checking, que funciona bajo un protocolo profesional y analiza de manera rigurosa cualquier información sospechosa, contrastándola con fuentes oficiales y expertas en materia electoral. “Nuestro trabajo consiste en verificar y analizar contenidos sospechosos a fin de contrastarlos con fuentes oficiales y fidedignas, lo que nos permite realizar la verificación y el análisis de los contenidos falsos que surjan en la contienda electoral”, señaló.

Sánchez apuntó que, si bien el JNE detecta la desinformación y emite aclaraciones públicas, aún no cuenta con capacidad sancionadora sobre los involucrados. “Se brinda una respuesta clara al ciudadano respecto al contenido falso que esté circulando y generando confusión, a través de plataformas digitales, redes sociales y medios de comunicación”, detalló, y destacó el valor de que muchos medios amplifiquen estas aclaraciones a toda la sociedad.
Como parte de su labor de prevención, el Jurado Nacional de Elecciones dispone de herramientas abiertas como el portal de fact-checking (repositorio de verificaciones oficiales), la plataforma Voto Informado (información transparente sobre hojas de vida, candidaturas y planes de gobierno) e Infogob (base de datos histórica de procesos electorales desde 1933). Estas herramientas permiten a jóvenes y adultos identificar información confiable y filtrar los contenidos que consumen antes de compartirlos.
Sánchez recalcó además la importancia de la cooperación con el sector privado, la academia y los medios de comunicación para combatir la desinformación, calificada por organismos internacionales como uno de los grandes retos de los próximos años: “El trabajo colaborativo es clave para que el esfuerzo sea eficaz frente a la desinformación que afecta a la democracia”.

A lo largo del panel, los expertos coincidieron en la urgencia de reforzar la alfabetización mediática. “No creer rápidamente y no dejarse llevar por las emociones” fue una de las recomendaciones dirigidas especialmente a jóvenes y adultos mayores, para que antes de compartir información en redes sociales detengan, analicen y contrasten el contenido con fuentes oficiales.
La Escuela de Posgrado de la Universidad Continental, a través de su programa de eventos y su participación en regiones del país, reiteró su compromiso con la formación de una sociedad informada, ética y digitalmente preparada para enfrentar los desafíos de esta nueva era. Según subrayó Curioso, “la gran responsabilidad de los medios de comunicación es aclarar, educar, verificar y contextualizar la información para el público, ayudando a diferenciar entre la evidencia y la manipulación”.
El panel concluyó que el avance de la inteligencia artificial ha multiplicado la velocidad y la influencia de la desinformación, y que solo una ciudadanía crítica y formada, sumada a instituciones sólidas y colaborativas, será capaz de proteger la integridad democrática del proceso electoral de 2026 y de los que están por venir.

Israel warns Hezbollah ‘playing with fire,’ presses Lebanon to act on weapons pledge

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
As Hezbollah rebuilds its forces and Lebanon is accused of failing to enforce the ceasefire terms brokered last year, Israel’s defense minister has fired off a warning to Beirut.
On Sunday, Defense Minister Israel Katz said, «Hezbollah is playing with fire, and the president of Lebanon is dragging his feet,» he said. «The Lebanese government’s commitment to dismantle Hezbollah’s weapons and remove it from southern Lebanon must be realized. Enforcement will continue and deepen — we will not allow a threat to the residents of the north.»
His warning comes as Fox News Digital has learned that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is weighing broader operations against the Iran-backed terrorist group after repeated violations of the truce.
A senior IDF officer stationed on the northern border told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview that Hezbollah remains fully armed and funded by Iran.

«Hezbollah didn’t give up their heavy weapons,» the officer said. «They’re still trained, still financed by Iran, and still trying to re-establish their positions. Our job is to make sure they don’t succeed.»
On Monday, the IDF confirmed it had killed two Hezbollah commanders in southern Lebanon. Muhammad Ali Hadid, a senior member of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force, was eliminated in Nabatieh, while another operative was struck in Ayta ash Shab after being seen collecting intelligence on Israeli positions.
«The terrorists’ activities violated the understandings between Israel and Lebanon,» the IDF said in a statement. «The IDF will continue to operate to remove any threat to the State of Israel.»

The senior officer said the operations reflect Israel’s new, proactive security doctrine. «If somebody threatens us, we take control of the situation and make the threat go away,» he said. «We pushed Hezbollah back, so civilians could return. Now we’re fortifying those gains and acting to prevent their recovery.»
That, he added, is the lesson Israel learned from Oct. 7. «Until then, we sometimes looked the other way. That’s over. We’re not sitting and waiting for the next rocket.»

The officer said the IDF’s 91st Division recently completed its largest exercise since the start of the war, designed to strengthen operational readiness for both defense and offensive operations along the Lebanese border — at sea, in the air, and on land.
«We tested our defensive systems, coordination, and rapid-response capabilities,» he said. «We’re applying every lesson from Oct. 7 so our response next time will be immediate.»

According to Israel’s Haaretz newspaper, intelligence officials believe Hezbollah is rapidly rebuilding its arsenal with Iranian assistance. The group has partially restored its weapons supply chain through Syria and Iraq, despite disruptions following the collapse of the Assad regime last year.
The Trump administration has also expressed frustration over Beirut’s failure to curb Hezbollah. U.S. Special Envoy Thomas Barrack recently described Lebanon as «a failed state» because of its «paralyzed government,» and that Hezbollah pays its fighters more than the national army soldiers earns.

Responding to Israel’s preemptive strikes last week, Lebanese Foreign Minister Youssef Raggi urged his visiting German counterpart on Friday to «help pressure Israel to halt its attacks.»
«Only a diplomatic solution, not a military one, can ensure stability and maintain calm in the south,» Raggi said, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA).
He added that the Lebanese government «is gradually moving forward with its decision to bring all weapons under state control.»
The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) on Thursday voiced «deep concerns», urging all parties «to fully commit to the cessation of hostilities.»
UNIFIL added that it remains in contact with the Lebanese Armed Forces and emphasized that extending state authority «is at the very core of Resolution 1701.»

Despite diplomatic criticism, Israeli commanders insist they will not allow Hezbollah to rebuild.
«We won’t wait for another Oct. 7,» the Israeli officer said. «We’re vigilant, we’re rebuilding, and we’re ready. The quiet we have now depends on Hezbollah’s choices — not on our willingness to defend ourselves.»

White House slams Mamdani’s ‘completely irresponsible’ comments linking Trump to threats against voters

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The White House slammed New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani after he linked the Trump administration to threats against voters in New Jersey.
On Tuesday, as New Jerseyans went to cast their ballots, bomb threats forced voters out of multiple polling places. While the threats were found to be non-credible, they still caused a disruption to those looking to exercise their right to vote for the Garden State’s next governor. When asked about the threats in his neighboring state, Mamdani made comments that raised eyebrows and rocked the West Wing.
Mamdani called the threats «incredibly concerning» and said that he believed they were «an illustration of the attacks we’re seeing on our democracy.»
«We have to understand this as part of the general approach the Trump administration has taken to trying to intimidate voters with baseless allegations of voter fraud as a means of trying to repress the voice of Americans across this country,» Mamdani said.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Mamdani’s remarks were «completely irresponsible» and not based in fact.
«I think they are completely irresponsible, and they are based on zero evidence. And I think this is just another example of how the Democrat Party unfortunately stands for nothing. All they stand against is President Donald Trump. And I think it’s quite sad to see that we have someone at the top of the ticket on an Election Day today saying such things about the president, when he obviously had absolutely nothing to do with those threats,» Leavitt said in response to a question from Fox News’ Jacqui Heinrich.
On Monday, Trump, who has been an outspoken critic of Mamdani, backed former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the mayoral race.
«I would much rather see a Democrat, who has had a record of success, WIN, than a communist with no experience and a record of COMPLETE AND TOTAL FAILURE. He was nothing as an assemblyman, ranked at the bottom of the class and, as mayor of potentially, again, the greatest city in the World, HE HAS NO CHANCE to bring it back to its former glory!,» Trump wrote on Truth Social.

«We must also remember this — A vote for Curtis Sliwa (who looks much better without the beret!) is a vote for Mamdani. Whether you personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice. You must vote for him, and hope he does a fantastic job,» Trump added. «He is capable of it, Mamdani is not!»
Trump, a native New Yorker, also said that if Mamdani were to win, it would be «highly unlikely that I will be contributing federal funds, other than the very minimum as required, to my beloved first home.»
Cuomo responded, saying that Trump «doesn’t support me,» but rather «he opposes Mamdani.»
«He believes that Mamdani is an existential threat to New York,» Cuomo added.

«The MAGA movement’s embrace of Andrew Cuomo is reflective of Donald Trump’s understanding that this would be the best mayor for him,» Mamdani said at a press event in New York on the eve of the election. «Not the best mayor for New York City, not the best mayor for New Yorkers, but the best mayor for Donald Trump and his administration.»
Fox News Digital reached out to Mamdani’s campaign for comment on Leavitt’s response.
