From the rise of digital borders to introduction of AI capabilities in visa processing and social welfare access, ADM is increasingly being used to enhance and automate parts of decision-making processes in migration. This interactive roundtable discussion is designed to map what we know about the use and effects of ADM in migration programs and services around the world and in Australia.

The purpose of this event is to develop a shared understanding of the key emerging issues with the intent of shaping the research agenda for the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision Making and Society (ADM+S).

The discussion will cover the following topics:

• Where is ADM being (or touted to be) used in migration programs and services?
• In what way is ADM being used (e.g. screening; decision support; resource allocation; matching; risk assessment; risk reduction)?
• How do practitioners, policy advocates, and administrators engage with such ADM?
• How do service users understand and experience processes that involve the use of ADM?

Location

This event will be held in-person at the University of Sydney Law School and online via Zoom.
