Migrant Rights at the European Borders, Lecture 7 – Automating Immigration and Asylum: A Data Justice Framework
The Department of Law of the FDEF, with the support of the FNR, is organising this hybrid lunchtime lecture.
Abstract
The use of new technologies is rising in the migration and asylum fields across Europe. Several states have started using (or testing) them to control who enters their borders or to choose who gets access to their territories or their protection mechanisms. A multitude of new technologies is being used and tested on migrants, including asylum seekers, across the EU borders. Based on her extensive research on the use of AI during border management activities, Derya Ozkul will offer a comprehensive analysis of these practices in detail. This scrutiny will be approached from a sociological standpoint, delving into the changes in identity determination and immigration and asylum decision-making. Based on her expertise in EU public law and digitalisation, Elif Biber, a postdoctoral researcher at the Faculty of Law, will act as a discussant and engage in discussion with the invited speaker, exploring the potential legal ramifications and safeguards necessary to uphold fundamental rights.
