Abstract
Expanding upon Buolamwini’s concept of the “coded gaze,” this article explores the ways in which global governance practices and processes encode structural harm, global social inequality, and coloniality into digital transformations and governments. The coded gaze becomes the global coded gaze. Building upon Buolamwini’s concept of the coded gaze, I introduce the concept of the global coded gaze to explore how structural violence becomes encoded into digital transformation policies and processes and into global political-economic systems more broadly; this article discusses the structurally violent implications of that process. This article describes the global coded gaze, discusses its mechanisms and harms, and concludes with an argument as to why the global coded gaze matters for global policy and data governance. The global coded gaze illuminates global governance’s influence on the orientation of public-sector digital transformations and the reasons why decolonial, intersectional, and antiracist approaches to public-sector digital transformations are crucial for creating safer, more trustworthy, and more equity-centered digital states and futures.
