Thinking about technology
from a human perspective.

I work on how artificial intelligence, emerging technologies and digital platforms are transforming organizations, communities and cultural systems.

I develop applied research, protocols and programs for organizations that need to understand the impact of AI, emerging technologies, digital platforms and new community models.

Explore, translate, structure.

Three movements organize my work with organizations, teams and institutions going through technological transformation. Research, strategy and systems to understand, implement and structure the impact of artificial intelligence and digital platforms.

Explore

I research tensions, risks and opportunities around artificial intelligence, digital platforms and organizational transformation. I analyze context before proposing solutions.

Diagnostics · Mapping · Signal detection · Benchmarking · Use cases

Translate

I turn technological complexity into understandable frameworks for organizations, teams and communities. I design conversations and tools that help people make decisions with more clarity and judgment.

Decision frameworks · Workshops · Materials · Roadmaps · Training
/03
Structure

I design strategies, protocols and technology adoption systems for organizations that need to incorporate artificial intelligence without losing governance, traceability or human judgment.

Nicolás Madoery

I come from music, digital media and Latin American public policy. That background shapes how I work: with sensitivity to context, a focus on how technologies reorganize ecosystems, and rigor in reading the tensions between communities, platforms and regulation.

I founded and lead FUTURX, a research and strategy studio focused on culture, the internet, artificial intelligence and emerging technologies. From there I develop research, training programs and consulting projects for organizations, institutions and teams going through technological transformation.

My work crosses artificial intelligence, digital platforms, emerging technologies and new community models. What connects these territories is a shared question: how do human practices reorganize when technical infrastructure changes?

I have participated in projects, programs and training initiatives with UNESCO, the British Council, ministries of culture across Latin America and international organizations connected to creativity, innovation and public policy.

I previously worked in record labels, digital platforms and public cultural management. That combination of operations, research and strategic design is the foundation of my work today.

I have also supported digital strategies and audience development for more than 200 cultural projects, including collaborations with Gustavo Santaolalla, Juana Molina, La Mona Jiménez and Florian, among others.

I co-create corporate training programs at Humano / Artificial with Gaba Najmanovich. I host the podcast Data a la Deriva.

I live in Buenos Aires. I work in Spanish and English.

Four fronts where I work today.

Six tensions that run through my work.

/01

Culture remains a blind spot in much of the discussion about artificial intelligence.

/02

Digital platforms do not only distribute culture: they shape which cultures circulate.

/03

Automation makes human judgment more important, not less.

/04

Many organizations incorporate AI without clear frameworks for governance or quality.

/05

The discussion about AI is not only technological: it is political, economic and cultural.

/06

Digital communities and new decentralized organizational models are reconfiguring how culture is produced and distributed.

Research, publications and strategic frameworks.

Five research projects developed between 2023 and 2026: regional reports, books, UNESCO documents and European projects.
