Marcia Jadue Boeri, collaborator at Econcult who is currently carrying out her doctoral research at the Universitat de València, took part in the VIII Forum on Economy and Culture, held from September 23 to 26, 2025, in various venues across Mexico City’s Historic Center.

This international Forum brought together academics, cultural managers, institutional representatives, and public policy experts to reflect on the links between economy, culture, and development in the Ibero-American context.

On Wednesday, September 24, during the session “Approaches to formative action in Economy and Culture” held at the Museum of Art of the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit, Jadue presented the paper “The potential of generative AI in research on creative autonomy from the perspective of cultural management.” In her presentation, she highlighted how generative artificial intelligence opens new opportunities for the study of cultural management in Latin America and contributes to consolidating it as a field of knowledge within the academic and scientific sphere.

Additionally, this eighth edition of the Forum established a partnership with the Journal of Cultural Management - RGC Editions to publish a special issue composed of twelve articles selected through a public call and evaluated under a double-blind peer review system. Among the selected works is that of Marcia Jadue Boeri who, under the same title as her presentation, analyzes how generative AI has enabled her to address the methodological challenges of modeling a subjective concept such as creative autonomy in order to understand the effects of a cultural public policy tool like competitive funding.

Key insights from her presentation:

• Generative AI as a tool to enhance cultural research.

• Expanding the scope of creative autonomy for artists and cultural managers.

• The role of cultural management in framing critical approaches to technology.

Jadue’s participation reinforces the Universitat de València’s international presence and contribution to global debates on culture in the digital era. The forum, now in its eighth edition, has established itself as a key meeting point to understand how technological and economic transformations are reshaping cultural work, training, and public policy across Latin America and Europe.
