Abstract: This article presents a literature review on the relationship between racism and the use of facial recognition technology by Brazilian Public Security. The text is organized into four sections: the first presents phenomena such as platformization, the datafication of life, data colonialism, platform capitalism, and surveillance; the second sets out some characteristics of this technology; the third highlights studies on racial discrimination through algorithms; finally, the fourth presents the main consequences of algorithmic racism in Public Security. It concludes that there is a need for a broad debate on these discriminatory algorithmic practices, in order to avoid the violation of fundamental rights and guarantees.
