Dear all,

I would like to invite you to follow our online panel on Friday December
2, at 5PM CET.

ALGORITHMS OF VIOLENCE: Border Management, Migration & Enforced
Discrimination.

With Petra Molnar (Associate Director, Refugee Law Lab / Co-creator,
Migration and Technology Monitor, CA/US), Martina Tazzioli (Reader in
Politics & Technology, Goldsmiths College, University of London, IT/UK),
Yasmine Boudiaf (Researcher & Technologist, DZ/UK). Moderated by Tatiana
Bazzichelli (Artistic Director & Founder, Disruption Network Lab, IT/DE).

Surveillance and monitoring technologies including cameras, drones,
biometrics, and motion sensors have been implemented to increase the use
of AI-controlled surveillance and data collection systems in different
domains, from migration management, asylum seeking, to borders control.
The second Disruptive Fridays of the SMART PRISONS series, leading to
the Disruption Network Lab's conference on tracking, monitoring and
control in the context of prison and detention systems (March 24-26,
2023), focuses on the topics of technological violence and enforced
discrimination towards migrants and minoritised groups. We are
witnessing a degeneration of the use of AI in sensitive contexts in
Europe and globally. Who gets to ask questions about proposed
innovations and why are perspectives from the ground up relegated to the
margins?
