Comment by Amnesty International

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL IS MAKING THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS WHEN IT COMES TO THE USE OF DATA-INTENSIVE DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES THAT ACCELERATE INEQUALITY FOR REFUGEES AND MIGRANTS: Require businesses involved in developing and providing technologies in the context of refugee registration and border enforcement, including big data, artificial intelligence and biometric systems, to undertake human rights due diligence, in line with international standards such as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the OECD’s Guidance on due diligence. [...] Enact legislation to ban the use, development, production, sale and export of remote biometric recognition technology for mass surveillance as well as remote biometric or facial recognition technology used for identification purposes used within their own jurisdictions. Prohibit automated risk assessment and profiling systems in the context of migration management, asylum, and border control. Prohibit AI-based emotion recognition tools, especially in the context of migration, asylum, and border control management. Unverified source (2024)
