infraestrutura de dados, desenvolvimento, capitalismo digital, financiamento, soberania tecnológicaResumo
Este artigo analisa a reconfiguração do desenvolvimento na atual fase do capitalismo digital a partir da crescente centralidade da infraestrutura de dados. Sustenta que o desenvolvimento passa a se organizar em torno da construção, financiamento e controle dessas infraestruturas. O trabalho examina a natureza da infraestrutura de dados como um objeto simultaneamente público, privado e geopolítico. Além disso, identifica três implicações centrais para a América Latina: a redefinição do objeto financiável, a crescente dependência de atores tecnológicos globais e a expansão de esquemas de provisão mediados pelo mercado. Argumenta-se que essa dinâmica incide sobre a autonomia regional.
