Application of artificial intelligence in migration management

Abstract

Artificial intelligence is finding wider application in various fields, including migration management. Artificial intelligence systems can greatly assist authorities in their daily tasks of protecting state borders and preventing various types of cross-border crime, such as identifying forged documents and automating the verification of travel documents, as well as in advanced predictive analytics on migratory movements. However, as systems based on artificial intelligence are still in their infancy, caution is necessary in their application, especially in sensitive areas such as deciding on asylum requests. This article analyses the current situation in the field of artificial intelligence application in migration management, as well as the risks associated with its use. By examining technological development, application areas and risks, it concludes on the type of normative and policy approach necessary for the responsible use of artificial intelligence in migration management.
