In this talk, investigative journalist Lydia Emmanouilidou will delve into how artificial intelligence and surveillance technologies are transforming border management and impacting the lives of refugees. Drawing on her reporting from refugee camps in Greece and borders in Europe and the U.S., Lydia will reveal how cutting-edge technologies—from facial recognition to phone extraction—are increasingly employed to "manage" vulnerable populations and the human rights implications of these practices.
