It reveals anew linguistic capital with diverse connotations that has found its place in the daily dialogue of young people, whether in written messages on social networks or even in spoken colloquial language Technical words have transformed into circulating colloquial language, expressing identities and belongings. Research method: This study was based on the qualitative description of technological words in the discourse of young people. Through ethnographic observation Results: We are facing a new form of communication that depends on linguistic innovations sourced from artificial intelligence Conclusion: The impact of artificial intelligence on the language leads us to think about the relationship between youth and smartphones and their impact on forms of communication, which shows that artificial intelligence can have an impact on the identity of society.
