Exploration of the rapidly expanding use of technology and artificial intelligence (AI) in the asylum context.  This project will bring together people with first-hand experience of the asylum process, academics, asylum and tech industry professionals to explore the  implications and ethics of harnessing technology in the complex cross-cultural setting of asylum determinations.

The project will run from January to July 2025.  We will hold a series of focus groups and round table events to identify the potential consequences of introducing such technologies as well as ethical and practical considerations.  This will be disseminated and we will develop guidance for professionals and those seeking asylum.

This is a multi-partner project and is funded by a Social Purpose Grant from Royal Holloway University of London.
