| Sumario: | This work seeks inspiration in Chomsky's 1967 essay on the responsibility of intellectuals in the US imperialist wars to urge linguists to denounce the use of speech and language technologies in the mechanisms of current capitalism for controlling public opinion. To this end, it analyzes the expansion and popularization of this technology as a decisive step for the consolidation of 21st century digital capitalism. It also points to its commodification as a source of changes in the global labor market leading to loss of job security in all fields, including science. Finally, it describes the exploitation of precarious scientific labor by the giants of digital technology as one of the main means of capturing personal data via the internet, a business still awaiting regulation. |
