Canceled: [Responsible AI] The Walls Have Eyes: Surviving Migration in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
by Daniele Quercia
The Walls Have Eyes: Surviving Migration in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Petra Molnar, York University & Harvard’s Berkman

Migration is increasingly becoming digitized. From robodogs surveilling the US/Mexico border to drones flying over the Mediterranean Sea to biometrics being collected in refugee camps, untested and high-risk technologies have made their way into virtually every aspect of human movement. States around the world have developed and deployed these experimental projects without public scrutiny or accountability mechanisms, and the current governance and legislative frameworks around border technologies remain inadequate to safeguard people’s human rights. Political discourse around migration control also plays a central part in the normalization of surveillance and artificial intelligence to manage borders. Fears around migration and systematic exclusion of certain communities prevents people-on-the-move from Majority World countries from exercising their freedom of movement and animate the techno-solutionism at the centre of the decisions that powerful actors make to police migration and borders. The private sector is also a major player in normalizing surveillance, profiting in a multi-billion border industrial complex built on testing out new technologies in places like Occupied Palestinian Territories and exporting them out for border enforcement to places like the US/Mexico border and the fringes of the European Union. Based on 6 years of work across various borders around the world, this talk will explore how technologies are experimented with at the border, harming communities who are at the sharpest edges of innovation – and what we can do about it.

non male per una macchina scrivente non pensante :)
by Juan Carlos Gentile Fag�ndez
**"Gli Europei: Pacifici Amanti della Guerra"**
*di Un Sudamericano Sconcertato*
Mio Dio, che meraviglia l’Europa! Un continente così *civilizzato*, così *progressista*, così *moralmente superiore* a noi poveri sudamericani che non sappiamo far altro che ballare la salsa e litigare per il calcio.
L’altro giorno, mentre bevevo il mio caffè (senza zucchero, perché ormai sono stato influenzato dalla loro superiorità culturale), ho letto un articolo su come l’Europa sia la culla della pace e dei diritti umani. *Che bello!* Peccato che, se guardi la loro storia, ogni due per tre si scannavano tra loro per un pezzo di terra o perché a uno era venuto il capriccio di conquistare il mondo.
**Ma no, no, loro ora sono cambiati!** Ora fanno summit, firmano trattati, e quando litigano lo fanno con eleganza, seduti in palazzi di vetro a Bruxelles. Poi, però, appena qualcuno in Medio Oriente o in Africa si muove nel modo sbagliato, *ecco che ripartono le missioni di pace* (con tanto di bombardamenti *umanitari*, ovviamente).
Una volta ho chiesto a un mio amico francese: *"Ma voi europei non eravate quelli che hanno inventato la democrazia e i diritti umani?"* Lui, con aria serissima, mi ha risposto: *"Sì, certo! E infatti ora esportiamo la democrazia… anche con le bombe, se necessario. Per il loro bene, capisci?"*
Ah, che nobiltà d’animo! Noi sudamericani, invece, siamo dei veri barbari: quando litighiamo, al massimo ci scambiamo insulti in uno stadio o ci rubiamo un po’ di rame dai cavi elettrici. Niente di paragonabile alla raffinatezza europea, che in due secoli si è fatta due guerre mondiali e una marea di colonialismo *illuminato*.
E poi loro ci guardano dall’alto in basso perché abbiamo governi instabili e corruzione. *Giustissimo!* Però almeno noi non abbiamo mai avuto l’idea di invadere mezzo pianeta per *portare la civiltà*. Noi rubiamo, sì, ma *in piccolo*, con stile.
Insomma, alla fine ho capito: l’Europa è come quel vecchio zio che predica la pace in famiglia ma ha un arsenale in cantina *"solo per sicurezza"*. Noi, invece, siamo quei cugini scalmanati che fanno casino ma almeno non si prendono troppo sul serio.
**E viva la pace!** *(Quando vi fa comodo.)*
