This #WorldRefugeeDay we’re calling for a ban on the use of AI in the UK asylum system.
The hostile environment is being automated with little transparency and limited rights of appeal.
People seeking safety shouldn’t be reduced to a case number, a data point in opaque systems.

The Home Office's internal report found that even the "best performing” tools tended to overestimate the age of teens.
It found significant bias against people from Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly girls. So girls as young as 14 could be housed with adults.
Say no to AI in asylum!

Facial age estimation tech is being rolled out in the UK asylum system ⚠️
A damning investigation from Lighthouse Reports reveals that the Home Office’s own assessment of these tools found them to be deeply flawed.
Yet it's being rolled out regardless of the potentially dangerous consequences.

We must ban the use of AI tools in the asylum process.
There are ways to clear the backlog of asylum cases and raise standards. These tools aren't the answer.
The government must not automate the hostile environment.

The hostile environment is being automated.
Immigration enforcement is being embedded into daily life, but most MPs are staying silent.
That silence gives the government cover to push through unlawful, discriminatory policies unchallenged.

That means fighting back against the Home Office's potentially unlawful use of AI in asylum decision-making.

AI tools in UK asylum decision-making are being deployed first, while safeguards, oversight and transparency are treated as secondary.
This carries serious risks to fairness, accountability and the protection of rights.
That's why its use could be UNLAWFUL.

The use of AI tools to clear the asylum backlog prioritises speed over accuracy.
23% of caseworkers lacked full confidence in the output of these tools.
The UK Home Office has pressed ahead anyway and rolled out its use across the asylum system.

AI tools are being rolled out without meaningful transparency or governance.
This is alarming given that they are rewriting what people say in interviews and key information that'll determine the outcome of a UK asylum application.

A legal opinion for ORG raises issues over the legality of the use of AI tools in the UK asylum system.
Applicants aren't being informed of its use by decision-makers, nor being given the opportunity to correct errors in AI-generated summaries.

AI isn't neutral. It can discriminate and make mistakes. So it shouldn't be used to change information that informs life-changing asylum assessments. Unlawful or unfair decisions may result. We need politicians to show courage. This #RefugeeWeek tell your MP to ban AI in the asylum system ⬇️

The use of AI in asylum decision-making is likely unlawful.
These tools rewrite interviews, choosing what to include and exclude.
Without knowing this, asylum applicants can't be sure accurate information is used to inform decisions.

The theme of #RefugeeWeek is Courage. The UK hostile environment has gone digital. AI makes or influences decisions over who stays, who's detained and who's removed. All with little transparency and limited rights of appeal. Politicians need to show courage and stand up for refugees! Read more ⬇️
