W artykule przeanalizowano wpływ działalności amerykańskiego big tech, czyli spółek popularnie zwanych GAFAM (Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple i Microsoft), na globalne środowisko bezpieczeństwa oraz wskazano, w jaki sposób wpływ ten determinuje zjawisko kapitalizmu nadzoru. Rozważono argumentację na poparcie tezy, że spółki z grupy GAFAM nie tylko należą do kluczowych międzynarodowych podmiotów gospodarczych, lecz także ściśle współpracują z państwem, z którego się wywodzą. Z analizy wynika, że wyłaniają się nowi, potężni aktorzy globalnego środowiska bezpieczeństwa. W czasie sytuacji kryzysowych - między innymi pandemii i konfliktów zbrojnych - spółki big tech zarówno działają w sferze informacyjnej, jak i stają się centralnymi elementami infrastruktury krytycznej.

The article analyses the influence of the American Big Tech companies, commonly known as GAFAM (Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, and Microsoft), on the global security environment. It indicates the influence is determined by the phenomenon of a ‘surveillance capitalism,’ and that GAFAM companies are not only the top multinational companies, but they are also closely cooperating with their home countries. The analysis shows the emergence of the new powerful actors in the global security environment. In crisis situations, such as pandemic or a military conflict, the Big Tech companies operate not only in the informational area, they are also becoming central elements in the present-day critical infrastructure.
