  Migration - Petra Molnar

DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence and automated decision-making is incre
 asingly used in various facets of migration management. From predictions a
 bout population movements in the Mediterranean\, to Canada’s experiments
  with the use of AI in immigration and refugee decisions\, to coercive ret
 inal scanning of refugees in Jordan\, states and organizations are keen to
  explore the use of these new technologies\, yet often fail to take into a
 ccount profound human rights ramifications and real impacts on human lives
 . \n\nThis presentation is based on "Bots at the Gate\," a report done by 
 the University of Toronto on the use of emerging technologies in migration
  management and explores new mechanisms of oversight and accountability ac
 ross jurisdictions. The concerns around emerging technologies force us to 
 re-examine our assumptions\, norms\, and available rights-frameworks. Tech
 nology is not neutral and is a useful lens through which to examine state 
 practices\, democracy\, notions of power\, and accountability.\n\n
