Frontex, dass wohl als eine von der EU eigens zur gnadenlosen Bekämpfung von Menschen in Not eingerichtete Agentur bezeichnet werden kann, baut die Überwachung immer weiter aus.
Mit Millionensummen werden hier neue Überwachungs- und Kontrolltechniken an den Schwächsten und Wehrlosesten erprobt und verfeinert.
Wir sollten nicht zulassen, dass immer mehr sichtbare und unsichtbare Grenzen um uns herum gezogen werden, die uns alle zu Gefangenen machen!
Mauern einreißen! Frontex versenken!

Hightech-Dystopie an der Grenze

Grenzen sind zum Testlabor für die Hightech-Industrie geworden, Verletzungen der Menschenrechte an der Tagesordnung, wie das Buch The Walls Have Eyes zeigt.

Wasser und Nahrung nur gegen Iris-Scan und Fingerabdruck, intelligente Mauern und Schallkanonen, Roboterhunde und Drohnen, die Menschen durch die Wüste jagen – was wie die Dystopie aus einem Science-Fiction-Film klingt, ist für Flüchtende tägliche Realität.

Weitgehend unbemerkt von der Öffentlichkeit sind Grenzregionen zu rechtsfreien Räumen geworden, die von Regierungen und Hightech-Unternehmen für Experimente genutzt werden.….

Surviving Migration in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

A chilling exposé of the inhumane and lucrative sharpening of borders around the globe through experimental #surveillance #technology

“Racism, technology, and borders create a cruel intersection . . . more and more people are getting caught in the crosshairs of an unregulated and harmful set of technologies touted to control borders and ‘manage migration,’ bolstering a multibillion-dollar industry.”

In 2022, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced it was training “robot dogs” to help secure the U.S.-Mexico border against migrants. Four-legged machines equipped with cameras and sensors would join a network of drones and automated surveillance towers—nicknamed the “smart wall.” This is part of a worldwide trend: as more people are displaced by war, economic instability, and a warming planet, more countries are turning to AI-driven technology to “manage” the influx....

The Palestine Laboratory
How Israel Exports The #Technology Of #Occupation Around The World

For more than 50 years, occupation of the West Bank and Gaza has given the Israeli state invaluable experience in controlling an “enemy” population, the Palestinians. It’s here that they have perfected the architecture of control.
(...)
This book shows in-depth, for the first time, how Palestine has become the perfect laboratory for the Israeli military-techno complex: surveillance, home demolitions, indefinite incarceration and brutality to the hi-tech tools that drive the ‘Start-up Nation’. From the Pegasus software that hacked Jeff Bezos’ and Jamal Khashoggi’s phones, the weapons sold to the Myanmar army that has murdered thousands of Rohingyas and drones used by the European Union to monitor refugees in the Mediterranean who are left to drown.
Israel has become a global leader in spying technology and defence hardware that fuels the globe’s most brutal conflicts.
As ethno-nationalism grows in the 21st century, Israel has built the ultimate model....

Missing Link: Grenzsicherung USA made in Germany

„Wie die #Technologie eines deutschen Konzerns in den #USA dabei hilft, Flüchtlingen und potenziellen Schleusern im Grenzhinterland auf die Spur zu kommen.

Die Kontrolle an der Grenze und im nahen Grenzgebiet wird seit Jahren verstärkt und mit Überwachungstechnologien aufgerüstet. Dabei kommt auch ein System zum Einsatz mit dem sich sowohl die Bewegungen von Fahrzeugen als auch die von Smartphones und anderen drahtlosen Geräte verfolgen lassen.

Die Border Security wird intelligent, alte Zäune werden mithilfe von Sensoren und Kameras smart gemacht. Neue "Intelligente Hardware" in Form von Drohnen und Überwachungstürmen des Herstellers Anduril kommt hinzu. Die Überwachung wird technisch und räumlich ausgedehnt. Sie umfasst nicht nur den Bereich der direkten Grenze – zunehmend geraten auch Routen hinter der Grenze in den Fokus….“

Incredible. #UK Plans AI Experiment on Children Seeking Asylum

"Experimenting with unproven technology to determine whether a child should be granted protections they desperately need and are legally entitled to is cruel and unconscionable.

Facial age estimation has not been independently evaluated in real-world settings. Companies that tested their technology in a handful of supermarkets, pubs, and on websites set them to predict whether a person looks under 25, not 18, allowing a wide error margin for algorithms that struggle to distinguish a 17-year-old from a 19-year-old..

AI face scans were never designed for children seeking asylum, and risk producing disastrous, life-changing errors. Algorithms identify patterns in the distance between nostrils and the texture of skin; they cannot account for children who have aged prematurely from trauma and violence. They cannot grasp how malnutrition, dehydration, sleep deprivation, and exposure to salt water during a dangerous sea crossing might profoundly alter a child’s face.."

@autonomysolidarity what is being described here is not an experiment.

An experiment would be to take children/young adult asylum seekers with documented ages, train the AI on some of them and assess what the errors where on a different set of individual, also equally of documented age.

No one would actually be assessed by the AI, as we would already know their ages. The AI would be what is being assessed.

And I'm pretty sure if you did that it would demonstrate how unreliable the AI discriminant/age estimator was, probably about as accurate as phrenology or casting yarrow sticks.
