EU asylum policy

This blog post written by Research Assistant at EUROPEUM Institute Lasya Gudur examines two central fairness concerns raised by the use of AI in EU asylum procedures - the discrepancy between the reasoning used by AI and the individualized judgement asylum decisions require and the lack of transparency and explainability in automated decision-support systems. It then considers whether the EU AI Act, in its current form, is equipped to address these challenges.

The new rules on asylum and migration agreed upon by EU member states this year are, according to ANO movement leader Andrej Babiš, "a huge betrayal prepared by the government of Petr Fiala". Viktor Daněk, deputy director of EUROPEUM Institute, commented for Hospodářské noviny.
