Sanxingdui: Future Memories is a 90‑minute film produced with ByteDance's Jimeng AI by Bona Film Group's AIGMS centre that opens nationwide in China on 23 October; the National Film Administration granted a public screening licence on 28 April and the release date was announced on 27 September.
Sanxingdui: Future Memories is a 90‑minute film produced with ByteDance's Jimeng AI by Bona Film Group's AIGMS centre that opens nationwide in China on 23 October; the National Film Administration granted a public screening licence on 28 April and the release date was announced on 27 September. (claims: production method, length, opening date, licence date, announcement date) The film was approved under the regulator's animated feature category because no formal category exists for AI‑generated features, and the project involved 'more than a hundred people over roughly two years' with all characters described as original digital creations. (claims: regulatory filing as animation, lack of category, team size and duration, character creation) Observers and the publisher note this precedent may harden into practice and that classification affects crediting, review standards and audience expectations. (claims: precedent and industry implications, quoted WeChat commentary)

Artificial intelligence is changing the competencies required in communication professions and the Universidad Complutense de Madrid is relaunching the seventh edition of its Master in Innovation and Transformation in Communication for 2026–2027 with a reinforced Latin America focus and a Full Stack Comms Talent model.
Artificial intelligence is changing the competencies required in communication professions and the Universidad Complutense de Madrid is relaunching the seventh edition of its Master in Innovation and Transformation in Communication for 2026–2027 with a reinforced Latin America focus and a Full Stack Comms Talent model. External reports cited estimate substantial skill shifts by 2030—39% globally and 44% in Colombia—and a Colombian study estimates a need for 85,000 additional digital talents; studies also identify rising demand for AI, Big Data and hybrid profiles.

Softtek describes the labour market as at an inflection point and identifies five emerging AI-focused roles — prompt engineers, ethics and bias specialists, AI trainers, auditors and solution architects — that it expects to be in greater demand as companies pursue digital transformation and regulatory resilience.
Softtek projects that artificial intelligence has become central to corporate innovation and highlights five specific professional profiles it expects to gain prominence in 2026–2027: prompt engineers who craft model instructions, specialists in AI ethics and bias, trainers who curate data and refine models, auditors who check security and compliance, and architects who integrate AI into business systems.

A qualitative study published on revistavirtualis.mx reports that generative artificial intelligence (IAG) adds automated recombination of styles, hyperrealistic image generation and real‑time personalization to meme creation. The research documents an interview with Eduardo Salvatori of the Instituto Nacional de Bellos Memes and states that Salvatori combines AI outputs with prior human editing and later curation, shifting between levels of IAG autonomy.
The article—based on a qualitative, critical approach and an interview with Eduardo Salvatori—finds that IAG increases iteration and automates processes of resignification in memes, while enabling creators to externalize aesthetic processes; Salvatori reportedly operates at IAG autonomy levels 3, 4 and 5 and emphasizes human editing before and curatorial handling after AI use.

Matías Alvarado Leyton's 2026 article in Virtualis examines the epistemological limits of applying distant reading to digital oral-history testimony and proposes a hybrid or stratified reading that combines computational methods with historiographic interpretation.
Matías Alvarado Leyton's 2026 article in Virtualis examines the epistemological limits of applying distant reading to digital oral-history testimony and proposes a hybrid or stratified reading that combines computational methods with historiographic interpretation. The article argues that computational methods reconfigure the status of testimony by translating it into abstractions—aggregation, pattern detection and large-scale recurrence—that can reveal relations at scale but may obscure narrative, situated and relational density.

Claudia Benassini Félix frames the article with two objectives: to present open alternatives for knowledge construction from convergences among deep mediatization, media ecology and generative artificial intelligence; and to illustrate those convergences through analysis of a tweet generated by the communication team of the Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación associated with Yasmín Esquivel, drawing ethical implications for the minister’s use of generative AI for promotion.
