When the Gaze Becomes a System
At what moment does the capacity to observe transform into a form of automatic power? How does the gaze lose its human face.
The blind spot of Artificial Intelligence
How to remain responsible in a world that functions without understanding us
We no longer live under a human gaze. We live inside systems that see, calculate, and predict. Artificial Intelligence is not merely a technology: it is a form of gaze that transforms the world into data and data into automated decisions.
This book explores the blind spot of intelligent systems—what every model must necessarily exclude in order to function, and what becomes invisible at the very moment prediction replaces choice.
Through a path that weaves together the genealogy of the gaze, analysis of predictive control, and reflection on responsibility, we discover how algorithmic power no longer operates through imposition, but through the normalization of what appears probable, efficient, and inevitable.
At what moment does the capacity to observe transform into a form of automatic power? How does the gaze lose its human face.
The shift from reactive control to predictive control. How probability becomes a norm when it guides action.
Every functioning model must exclude. When that blind spot becomes invisible, responsibility disappears.
The precise moment when a tool ceases to be consulted and begins to function as an inevitable horizon.
Making oneself invisible to systems is a defensive strategy, not transformative. True spaces of resistance lie elsewhere.
For the first time, the tools we use to decide produce solutions that exceed human capacity to understand.
How to reclaim responsibility without demanding total control. A possible posture between automation and human judgment.
A conceptual figure that makes criteria visible, exposes models, reveals what has been excluded to make decisions.
Awareness does not arise spontaneously. It is a cultural construction requiring time, space, and shared languages.
The cycle closes: systems generating other systems. How to remain present and responsible when control becomes cognitively fragile.
How the way we see determines how we govern in our time.
What every model must exclude to function becomes invisible and therefore undisputed.
How to maintain the imputability of decisions when the system functions without being understood.
The moment when probability replaces choice, and how this redefines power.
When systems function better than ever, yet become increasingly incomprehensible.
A collective practice for interrogating functioning without demonizing technology.
