| Abstract: | This thesis examines the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in EU border management and its implications for migrant safety, using the Human Security framework as a theoretical lens. The central research question is: “How does the EU address migrant safety in its implementation of AI at the external borders of the EU?” The study hypotheses that while AI can enhance border security, it also poses significant risks to migrant safety that are not fully addressed by current EU policies. Data for this research comprises EU policy documents, including the AI Act and the New Pact on Migration and Asylum, which are analysed using qualitative content analysis facilitated by Atlas.TI. The findings indicate that existing EU regulations prioritise national security over migrant safety, often overlooking the ethical and human rights implications of AI technologies. The study concludes that to safeguard migrant well-being, EU policies need to integrate comprehensive Human Security considerations and enforce stricter regulations on AI applications. This research contributes to the discourse by highlighting the critical need for balancing technological advancements with human securities in the context of migration. |
