Description:
While employing Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital technology is a political choice, the People on the move, as well as their families and communities, often in vulnerable situations, are finding themselves at the ‘sharp edges’ of policies and practices over which they have no control and little to no agency in shaping. Automated tools are increasingly being used in public decision-making related to migration and asylum. With Using automated systems in migration and asylum processes, there is a potential for algorithmic bias or for enshrining existing inequalities, racism, and other forms of structural discrimination through automated systems. Generally, the use of automated tools in the public domain to identify, categorise and evaluate individuals raises important legal issues concerning fundamental rights. In the context of refugees automated tools might lead to violating refugees’ fundamental rights such as seek asylum and protection, non-refoulement and may lead to detention and deportation. In addition accordance to bias could lead to reject asylum application.
