Justiça Racial na Inteligência Artificial e TICs
Some surveillance technologies are so dangerous that they inevitably cause far more problems than they solve. The use of facial recognition and remote biometric technologies in publicly accessible spaces enables mass surveillance and discriminatory targeted surveillance. In such cases, the potential for abuse is too great, and the consequences too severe.
We must ban such practices once and for all. More than 200 civil society organizations, activists, technologists, and other experts around the world have already joined together to sign the open letter below calling on decision makers to stand up against rights-abusing uses of biometric surveillance technologies. Will you join us to #BanBS?

Abstract
This thesis describes a practice based research journey across various projects dealing with
the design of algorithms, to highlight the governance implications in design choices made on
them. The research provides answers and documents methodologies to address the urgent
need for more awareness of decisions made by algorithms about the social and economical
context in which we live. Algorithms consitute a foundational basis across diferent felds of
studies: policy making, governance, art and technology. The ability to understand what is
inscribed in such algorithms, what are the consequences of their execution and what is the
agency left for the living world is crucial. Yet there is a lack of interdisciplinary and practice
based literature, while specialised treatises are too narrow to relate to the broader context in
which algorithms are enacted.
