The Use of Artificial Intelligence Technologies in Border and Migration Control and the Subtle Erosion of Human Rights

Rinaldi, Alberto LU and Teo, Sue Anne LU orcid (2025) In International and Comparative Law Quarterly
Abstract

The widespread use of artificial intelligence technologies in border management throughout the European Union has significant human rights implications that extend beyond the commonly examined issues of privacy, non-discrimination and data protection. This article explores these overlooked impacts through three critical frameworks: the erosion of freedom of thought, the disempowerment of individuals and the politicization of human dignity. In uncovering these dynamics, the article argues for a broader conception of human rights to prevent their gradual erosion and safeguard the core principle of protecting human dignity.
