Abstract
The rapid expansion of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) since late 2022 has significantly
transformed institutional communication and public relations practices. Although individual
use of these technologies is widespread, organizational adoption remains at an early stage,
characterized by pilot initiatives, exploratory learning, and the absence of consolidated
institutional policies. The National Survey on AI Adoption in Argentina (2025) shows that 78%
of respondents use GAI in their daily lives, yet only 32% do so as part of their professional
duties. This reflects a clear gap between personal experimentation and formal organizational
integration. The main uses of GAI involve text generation, information analysis, and idea
development, while concerns related to algorithmic transparency, privacy, and misinformation
persist. Simultaneously, several Argentine cases—such as Banco Galicia, YPF, Mercado Libre,
Globant, and major media outlets like La Nación and Clarín—illustrate emerging applications of
AI to enhance customer service, automate communication processes, anticipate crises, and
accelerate content production. International cases, including Siemens, Netflix, Amazon, and
Disney, demonstrate more advanced models, combining personalization, predictive analytics,
and immersive experiences. This contrast indicates that organizational adoption in Argentina is
still moving along the boundary between the introduction and growth phases of the
technological innovation cycle. The analysis suggests that GAI is reshaping professional
practices, yet its consolidation as an institutional capability will depend on the development of
ethical, regulatory, and training frameworks that ensure responsible and strategic use. As
organizations strengthen their internal infrastructure, competencies, and governance, AI will
be able to advance toward higher stages of maturity and integration into organizational
communication policies and practices.

Introducción: IA generativa y ciclo de innovación tecnológica
La expansión de la inteligencia artificial generativa desde 2022 ha impulsado un
proceso acelerado de cambios culturales, profesionales y organizacionales. Sin
embargo, para comprender su impacto real en la comunicación institucional y en las
relaciones públicas, nos parece imprescindible, a para enfocar su estadio actual,
enmarcar la expansión de esta tecnología, dentro del el ciclo de vida de la
innovación tecnológica cuyas fases incluyen: introducción, crecimiento, madurez y
