(Open Rights Group)Report: Automated Discrimination: Unpacking the Digital Hostile Environment

Summary
The UK-based Open Rights Group warns that the growing use of artificial intelligence in immigration enforcement risks institutionalising discrimination and undermining human rights. Its report, Automated Discrimination: Unpacking the Digital Hostile Environment, examines AI applications in asylum processing, age assessment, case prioritisation, mobile phone analysis, marriage fraud detection, and border surveillance. It highlights serious concerns about algorithmic bias, lack of transparency, inadequate regulation, and technological dependence on foreign security companies. The report criticises the belief that AI can solve complex migration challenges through technological efficiency alone, arguing that automated systems may reinforce discriminatory immigration policies and disproportionately harm vulnerable migrants. It calls for stricter regulation of high-risk AI, greater government accountability, stronger public transparency, and digital sovereignty. Ultimately, the report urges governments to prioritise human rights and dignity, ensuring that AI supports humanitarian assistance rather than becoming an instrument of automated exclusion and discrimination.
