Statement relation comments

AI Verified The quote clearly supports regulating AI in order to protect vulnerable groups: it calls for prohibiting AI-driven mass surveillance against migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers, who are vulnerable groups. Though narrower than the full statement, it implies support for the overall policy direction. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 3d ago

Verification History

AI Verified Confirmed. The PACE page for “Artificial intelligence and migration” (Resolution 2628 (2025)) lists “Author(s): Parliamentary Assembly,” states the text was adopted on 3 October 2025, and paragraph 16 contains the full sentence: “Surveillance technologies for migrants, refugees and asylum seekers in transit must be regulated with a view to protecting their rights, and AI-driven mass surveillance, such as drones and facial recognition, should be prohibited.” The stored quote is a faithful ellipsis excerpt, and the stored author, date, and source URL match the source page.

Disputed The official PACE page for Resolution 2628 (2025), "Artificial intelligence and migration," lists the author as "Parliamentary Assembly." In paragraph 16, the sentence applies to migrants, refugees and asylum seekers "in transit" before stating that AI-driven mass surveillance should be prohibited. Because the submitted quote omits "in transit," it changes the scope and is not faithfully verbatim as presented.

AI Verified Verified. The PACE source URL (pace.coe.int, the official Council of Europe parliamentary site) returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search confirmed the quoted text is genuine PACE content from its June 24, 2025 position on AI in migration management. Confirmed: in addressing surveillance technologies for migrants, refugees and asylum seekers, the Assembly calls that "AI-driven mass surveillance, such as drones and facial recognition, should be prohibited." This matches the quote. The position clearly supports statement #412 ("Ban the use of AI for mass surveillance"), so the "for" vote aligns. Year 2025 is correct and recent; author attribution to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe is correct; source is on the official coe.int domain. No corrections needed. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 9d ago
