The politics of deceptive borders: 'biomarkers of deceit' and the case of iBorderCtrl

This paper critically examines a recently developed proposal for a border control system called iBorderCtrl, designed to detect deception based on facial recognition technology and the measurement of micro-expressions, termed 'biomarkers of deceit'. Funded under the European Commission's Horizon 2020 programme, we situate our analysis in the wider political economy of 'emotional AI' and the history of deception detection technologies. We then move on to interrogate the design of iBorderCtrl using publicly available documents and assess the assumptions and scientific validation underpinning the project design. Finally, drawing on a Bayesian analysis we outline statistical fallacies in the foundational premise of mass screening and argue that it is very unlikely that the model that iBorderCtrl provides for deception detection would work in practice. By interrogating actual systems in this way, we argue that we can begin to question the very premise of the development of data-driven systems, and emotional AI and deception detection in particular, pushing back on the assumption that these systems are fulfilling the tasks they claim to be attending to and instead ask what function such projects carry out in the creation of subjects and management of populations. This function is not merely technical but, rather, we argue, distinctly political and forms part of a mode of governance increasingly shaping life opportunities and fundamental rights.

Avec le projet #iBorderCtrl les gardes-frontières européens pourraient se faire aider d'un système de détection automatique du mensonge, très décrié par de nombreux chercheurs: https://www.liberation.fr/planete/2019/08/21/aux-portes-de-l-europe-on-filtre-les-mensonges_1738713 #SilentTalker
Aux portes de l'Europe, on filtre les mensonges

Avec le projet iBorderCtrl, entré récemment dans sa phase de tests, les gardes-frontières européens pourraient se faire aider de nouvelles technologies : des outils biométriques, un dispositif de vérification de documents et un système de détection automatique du mensonge, très décrié par de nombreux chercheurs.

Lügendetektor ist die Zukunft der europäischen Grenzsicherheit

Forscher glauben, dass ein virtueller Lügendetektor die Zukunft der Grenzsicherheit repräsentiert. Die EU hat schon 4,5 Mio. Euro investiert.
