Dataveillance y Frontera Digital en el Cruce Windsor (Canadá)–Detroit (EUA): Un Laboratorio de Control Algorítmico
Abstract
This article analyzes how the Windsor–Detroit border crossing has become a laboratory of algorithmic control within the digital border between the United States and Canada. The objective is to examine how the integration of intelligent infrastructures, advanced data analytics, and public–private partnerships reconfigures sovereignty, mobility, and the protection of rights in a corridor that is key to North American trade. The research uses a qualitative methodology based on a review of academic literature, official documents, and technical reports on digital surveillance, algorithmic governance, and border securitization. The findings show that this crossing functions as an advanced experimental space where biometrics, database interoperability, predictive analytics, and automated risk management converge, optimizing commercial flows while expanding mechanisms of differential classification and corporate involvement in state functions. The study concludes that the digital border reconfigures sovereignty through transnational assemblages of data and technology, with implications for democratic governance and human rights.
