Austria is introducing AI tools in key parts of its asylum procedure- but at what cost?

@msf.ca (Ärzte Ohne Grenzen) spricht explizit von einem Genozid in #Gaza:
„In Gaza, the ongoing crimes committed by the Israeli Government constitute genocide. And this genocide is being perpetrated with absolute impunity“.
The world's most famous medical NGO concludes Israel is committing genocide.

It joins a consensus of genocide scholars, including in Israel, and NGOs like Amnesty International.

No politician or journalist can claim "I did not know at the time!" to evade future justice.

"Records reveal how deeply the government’s biometric surveillance reaches into the lives of migrant children, some of whom may still be learning to read or tie their shoes—yet whose DNA is now stored in a system built for convicted sex offenders & violent criminals"

„A country that has pushed one group out of its political community will eventually push out others. The Trump administration’s barrage of attacks on trans people can seem haphazard, but as elements of a denationalization project, they fall into place.“

Das Perfide an dieser Idee ist, dass nicht davon auszugehen ist, dass es hier um Millionen Euro geht. Was soll jemand auf der Flucht schon dabei haben? Es geht um das Ketterl der Großmutter und das Handy um daheim anzurufen. Es geht hier um Demütigung.
„Tiefrot sind einige Punkte überdies im Bereich Asyl und Migration: etwa das Aussetzen des Asylrechts per Notgesetz, die Aufkündigung des UN-Flüchtlingspakts, eine österreichische Grenzsicherung "durch technische Sperren" – etwa durch Zäune“

The US first detained migrants and refugees at Guantanamo in 1991, when Haitians and Cubans intercepted at sea were held there. Detainees who tested + for HIV were put in a separate facility and had to meet higher standards to claim asylum.

Timely moment to dust off this piece, as a self-declared elite of „high-IQ“ individuals takes the axe to intl aid, critical research, anti racism, accessibility, trans rights - or what they cast as „low-IQ“, coddled, dysgenic dependents.
