This paper argues for actual and legal regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) and facial recognition.These new technologies represent great opportunities to improve the welfare of societies. However,some of their uses can also enhance discrimination and, eventually, lead to violence. From acomparative approach (examining the European Union and Brazil), we address the current and futureaspects of facial regulation, AI, and personal data. This paper shows that regulation is relevant toprotect the rule of law, free markets, and individual freedoms. It also examines the looming risksunfolding from the unregulated uses of new technologies. Our concept of “Data Necropolitics”defines a predatory form of digital governance that exploits and discriminates against vulnerable populations

This chapter shows that Kant’s notion of human dignity can be understood as a novel ‘care of the self’ and an ‘art of not being governed’. Drawing on a Foucauldian approach, it demonstrates that Kant intends to shape an ethical subject that strives for freedom and self-mastery. It also argues Kant’s idea of dignity embodies a political and spiritual form of resistance against dominant relations of power and subjectivities. Thanks to this novel perspective, this chapter also offers novel insights on the political force of human dignity. With Kant, this notion becomes a ‘government of the self by oneself’
