The Bots: Tech Experiments At Borders

Meet Petra Molnar, a lawyer-researcher, Associate Director of the
Refugee Law Lab, York University, working at the intersection of
human rights, migration and technology. We talk about the ecosystem
by which migration tech is being used to survey and make
administrative decisions related to immigration, refugee and
citizenship law. Drones, facial recognition, AI lie detectors, and
other tools are being deployed at the borders without any
oversight. Petra also gives us a sense of what is now going on in
the European Union, Greece and in particular the new refugee camp
in Lesvos, and why we should be gazing at these spaces more.
