| description | This article examines the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in public security policies in Brazil, discussing how such tools, when mobilized by the state, produce and reinforce a particular conception of humanity. Adopting a critical and intersectional approach grounded in the analysis of concrete cases, the text argues that these technologies function not merely as instruments of control but also embody historical, social, and cultural values that materialize in practices of selective surveillance. In this sense, the use of AI in public security is understood not simply as a technical matter, but as the expression of a political project- one that determines who matters, who deserves protection, and who may be subjected to elimination. |

Este artículo analiza el uso de las tecnologías de Inteligencia Artificial (IA) en las políticas públicas de seguridad en Brasil, discutiendo cómo estas herramientas, cuando son movilizadas por el Estado, producen y refuerzan una determinada concepción de humanidad. Desde un enfoque crítico e interseccional, y a partir del análisis de casos concretos, el texto argumenta que estas tecnologías no sólo operan como instrumentos de control, sino que encarnan valores históricos, sociales y culturales que se traducen en prácticas de vigilancia selectiva. Así, el uso de la IA en la seguridad pública se entiende no sólo como una cuestión técnica, sino como expresión de un proyecto político que define quién importa, quién debe ser protegido y quién puede ser eliminado. Este artigo analisa o uso de tecnologias de Inteligência Artificial (IA) nas políticas públicas de segurança no Brasil, discutindo como tais ferramentas, ao serem mobilizadas pelo Estado, produzem e reforçam uma dada concepção de humanidade. A partir de uma abordagem crítica e interseccional, e com base na análise de casos concretos, o texto argumenta que essas tecnologias não operam apenas como instrumentos de controle, mas corporificam valores históricos, sociais e culturais que se traduzem em práticas de vigilância seletiva. Assim, o uso da IA na segurança pública é entendido não apenas como uma questão técnica, mas como expressão de um projeto político que define quem importa, quem deve ser protegido e quem pode ser eliminado.
