We have visited high-tech refugee camps in Greece, seen violent borders all over Europe, and spoken with hundreds of people who are at the sharp end of technologically-assisted brutality. AI in migration is increasingly used to make predictions, assessments, and evaluations based on racist assumptions it is programmed with. But with upcoming, legislation to regulate Artificial Intelligence (the EU"s "AI Act") the EU has a chance to live its self-proclaimed values, set a global standard and draw red lines on the most harmful technologies. Politicians have turned migration into a political weapon and the EU's policies are becoming increasingly violent: hardening of borders, increased deportation, empowering agencies like Frontex which have been repeatedly implicated in severe human rights abuses, and even condoning the arrest and incarceration of search-and-rescue volunteers, doctors, lawyers, and journalists. Increasingly, surveillance and automated technologies are being tested out at borders and in migration procedures -- with people seeking safety being treated as guinea pigs.
