The 2023 ENCATC Congress on “Artificial Intelligence Embraced: The Future of the
Culture and Creative Sector” brings together researchers, educators, practitioners
and policymakers to explore the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the cultural field.
It is already clear that AI is having a profound impact on cultural policy,
management, education, and research: it is influencing cultural policy in various
ways, transforming the management of the cultural and creative sector; it is changing
the way we learn about and engage with culture; and it is revolutionizing research in
the field of cultural management and policy.
For cultural policy, AI-powered tools can provide policymakers with insights into the
culture and creative sector’s economic impact, helping them make informed
decisions about funding and support. Additionally, AI can assist policymakers in
identifying and addressing issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the
cultural sector.In the management of the cultural and creative sector, AI-powered tools can
analyze data on consumer preferences and market trends, helping cultural
organizations make informed decisions about programming, marketing, and audience
development. Moreover, AI can automate administrative tasks, freeing up time for
creative professionals to focus on their craft. The whole cultural and creative sector is
therefore experiencing an unprecedented opportunity for innovation, but also for
reflection on the potentialities and threats of these technologies.
