Well-Founded Fear of Algorithms or Algorithms of Well-Founded Fear? Hybrid Intelligence in Automated Asylum Seeker Interviews

Abstract Growing numbers of asylum seekers across Europe have created heightened pressure on governments to employ technologies to assist immigration systems in meeting humanitarian standards of international law. This article analyses the potential of hybrid intelligence (HI)—a machine learning (ML) utility supervised by and supervising human intelligence—for assisting both asylum seekers and immigration officers in performing fair and just assessments, while addressing theoretical underpinnings of what hybridity entails from the perspective of stakeholders and humanitarian systems. While aspects of ML demonstrate promise in reducing bias in immigration decisions, such technology itself suffers from various inherent biases. In addition, technological mediation poses several unforeseen, unintended, and subtle threats to humanitarian missions. By analysing ML algorithms currently employed in refugee status determination pilot programs and immigration control, this article synthesizes universal complications of using assistive technology in Refugee Status Determinations, with special focus on evaluating resultant theoretical refugee identity reconfigurations. Conceptually, this article expands on the theoretical model of what has been termed ‘ID entity’ by biometrics researchers and ethnographers by analysing potential latent consequences from technological mediation in asylum cases, while addressing use cases such as German and Canadian immigration services’ pilot programs, along with automated pilot border screening projects such as Iborderctrl, among others. In addition, several hypothetical scenarios are presented to concretize and further theoretical inquiry of using HI in asylum seeker interviews, with special focus on the requisite criterion of possessing a well-founded fear of persecution.

The crumbs of colonialism: the immigration process-from savages to civilized and shifting of submission from one sovereign to another

The following article aims to explore the aftermath of colonialism in different shapes and forms. Moreover, the paper will also explain the ways racial and national identities are affected in the building of nationalism and its consequent effects during the process of acquiring the citizenship of another country (shifting our submission to another sovereign). I argue that colonialization was not only geographical but also racial and intellectual. The theories that evolved in the racialized colonial period such as social evolution theory are still seen in some of the workings of institutions (such as the Immigration Office). However, the application of social evolution theory is much more subtle now and essentially reflects the same colonial mindset. Hence, I will conclude that because of historical connectivity and neocolonialism immigration becomes a right. I will also deduce that the complex yet unnecessary immigration process renders the "submission to the sovereign" in limbo which disturbs the whole idea of nationalism

Migrants’ access to COVID-19 vaccination in Japan: Progress and challenges

ObjectivesThis study aimed to review the progress and challenges of COVID-19 vaccine roll-out for migrants in Japan and discuss the approaches to address the challenges and better prepare for future waves of COVID-19 and other pandemics. MethodsWe conducted a literature review using an assessment framework which we developed building upon existing frameworks and tools on access to health services and COVID-19 vaccination among migrants. ResultsCOVID-19 vaccination coverage among foreigners might be lower than that of nationals although the data on foreigners were not widely available. A gap appeared to exist between the government's efforts to disseminate vaccine-related information through multi-lingual websites and migrant communities as recipients. A series of barriers for migrants were identified at different stages of the vaccination process. While efforts were made by different units of local governments, NGOs, migrant communities, and international exchange associations, linkages across sectors and scaling-up appeared to be an issue. No foreigners were explicitly excluded from the entitlements of COVID-19 vaccination. The national level guidance, however, allowed sub-national levels to make a decision on whether or not undocumented foreigners should be reported to the immigration office or law enforcement when providing the services. In consequence, units in charge of public health and vaccination of some municipalities did not offer vaccination to those in need. ConclusionMigrants, especially those unregistered face various barriers in accessing COVID-19 vaccination. It is critical to assess and address challenges concerning channels of information dissemination, pathways to access services, obstacles for vulnerable migrants, and data for evidence-based actions.

Migration processes and overcoming borders: ranges of movement

It is indicated that people have been moving from place to place since ancient times. Some move in search of new economic opportunities and prospects. Others are fleeing a life of armed conflict, food insecurity, persecution, terrorism, or human rights abuses and restrictions. Others - in order to avoid adverse consequences of climate change or natural disasters (climate change) or due to other factors. Migration processes directly depend on the ability (or vice versa) of a person to move from one state to another, that is, to cross borders.International society, in the context of the growing scale of such a global phenomenon as the movement of large groups of refugees and migrants, is developing more and more new ways of regulating and simplifying the procedure for crossing borders. The article is devoted to migration processes in the aspect of personal mobility and its possibilities, freedomof movement as an integral aspect of individual autonomy and immigration control of the host country, which is of decisive importance for the fact of migration and the further realization of the rights and freedoms of the migrant.
 It is indicated that several types of national borders are used in the world: 1) open border, 2) conditionally open border, 3) controlled border, 4) closed border. As can be seen from the above examples, there are different degrees of “openness” of the border, the nature of which depends on whether physical passport control exists (and whether it is used). Passport control by the police or immigration officials may be carried out at some types of borders, but nationals of the destination or participating territories are only allowed to cross the border with ID without any additional permits, restrictions or conditions. Thus, it was established that migration processes are accompanied by many stages of movement of a person, one of the most important of which is the crossing of borders, which in turn form the ranges of movement of migrants.
