Refugees and Algorithmic Humanitarianism: Applying Artificial Intelligence to RSD Procedures and Immigration Decisions and Making Global Human Rights Obligations Relevant to AI Governance

Abstract

Abstract Artificial intelligence (ai) has created algorithmic-driven humanitarianism without ethics, justice, and morality. Current ai dynamics do not protect humanity and mitigate its sufferings in refugee status determination procedures and immigration decisions, raising a host of data privacy and confidentiality issues. Data from refugees, asylum–seekers and migrants and the stateless might be deployed and manipulated for geostrategic, geopolitical, geo-engineering, medico-research, socio-economic, and demographical purposes by international organisations and governments. ai lacks anthropogenic sensitivity, critical thinking, and human traits of subjectivity and objectivity. The author ruminates on these issues by examining the application of ai and assessing its impact on the global human rights norms. The author adopts a human rights-based approach while espousing the reprogramming of algorithmic humanitarianism within new ai technologies for sustainable artificial intelligence.
