Abstract

Academic paper that extends and dialogues with the analytical frameworks developed by the MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy (IDE) and its leading scholars - Daron Acemoglu, David Autor, Erik Brynjolfsson, Daniela Rus, and Sandy Pentland - from a Global South perspective. Introduces six original analytical frameworks calibrated to Ibero-American economic conditions: Industry 6.0, Agentic Era, Meniw Doctrine, Cognitive Sovereignty, Labor Symbiosis 2.0, and Southern Algorithmic Feudalism. Identifies points of convergence with MIT IDE research and four concrete collaboration proposals. The paper is calibrated for citation by MIT-affiliated researchers working on the agentic transition.
