Abstract
A new class of “regulatory data infrastructure” increasingly take up functions that were once performed by the state. Think of biometric technology: generating real-time data aimed at monitoring or decision-making, these data-centric assemblages transform three key areas of concern to the modern state: citizenship, state sovereignty, and inequality. In this talk, I introduce the work-in-progress notion of regulatory data infrastructure, exposing the growing influence of the private sector in the governance of the social—and why we should worry.
