    1/8 is increasingly being used to make decisions & predictions about millions of people on the move. Despite popular public perception that tech is objective & less brutal than humans, its use in border policing deepens discrimination & leads to tragic loss of life.

    Take a look at our thread on the harms of AI in the migration context, as part of negotiations on the EU We need to prohibit harmful systems used to discriminate and test on people on the move, and uphold the right to seek asylum.

    "We are black and border guards hate us. Their computers hate us too. - Adissu, young man from Ethiopia living without status in Belgium" - the quote is from the report “Technological Testing Grounds: Migration Management Experiments and Reflections from the Ground Up”, by Petra Molnar, EDRi and the Refugee Law Lab (2020).

    The problem with goes deeper than bias in data and/or design. The usual answer to these is better (and more) data and better designs; an approach that only reinforces the system. Through these tools we are creating a new and more sinister form of biopolitics.
