Whatever method the border force used to determine this, I cannot imagine how AI is going to be more accurate.
As ever, this is the real risk of "AI"; not the technology itself so much as the technology-as-social-construct. A machine oracle we can abdicate decisions to with a facade of neutrality.
In this case, the facade is painting over the underlying motivation which is to reject asylum claims. You could imagine a world in which it is instead used to scan and fast-track claims through an automated and unaccountable process, but the form of the deployment has baked-in the outcome and interests of the powerful. Don't be surprised if there's another automated AI system that totally-pinky-promise-for-sure validates that rich tourists aren't terrorists so they can walk through security unmolested and another system that uses AI to flag "suspicious behavior" for the proles. The outcome is baked in, the AI just provides plausibility and legitimacy.
I even spoke to MENA immigrants who work in highly skilled environments and they don't seem to happy with the situation either. It is unclear why EU is doing this to themselves and the anti immigrant sentiment that is developing from this is hurting normal immigrants like me as well.
Immigrants and immigration should evoke a good sentiment and good emotion - selection effects are nice. As a libertarian I think immigration is a default good thing but not this way.
I wish EU would be more selective instead of steadfastly blank-slate "tolerant".
