Digital Welfare Borders: The effects of Artificial Intelligence in Migrants’ Access to Welfare
DigiWeB is the first study of how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is merging welfare systems and migration management. Governments are increasingly relying on AI to make decisions about who gets welfare benefits. This is important because AI combines large amounts of data and makes predictions based on "risk factors," which can be discriminatory, especially against marginalized migrants. DigiWeB takes a broad, interdisciplinary approach and makes four contributions: 1. It pushes the frontiers of research on digital welfare systems, explaining how AI and connected databases work to make decisions about welfare. 2. It introduces a new way of studying AI’s impact by combining data science and…
