Abstract
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in refugee resettlement can enable a high volume of resettlement cases to be decided quickly, lower the costs associated with resettlement, and foster the integration of refugees. However, the expanded use of AI in the context of resettlement may inevitably create serious issues in terms of human rights and interfere with the principle of non-discrimination, the right to an effective remedy, and the right to privacy and data protection. Despite growing academic interest in the impact of various uses of AI in asylum decision-making processes and migration management, there is a gap in the legal literature on the use of AI in the context of resettlement, and whether such use violates refugees’ fundamental rights. This study aims to fill this gap by examining the existing and potential use of AI throughout the resettlement of refugees and its implications, including the benefits and risks of such use on the human rights of individuals who are waiting to be resettled or those who are resettled.
