根据一份研究报告,从识别潜在假结婚到确定寻求庇护者年龄,再到检查新到达者手机内容等任务,现在都涉及使用该技术,这在近乎完全的保密状态下进行,强化了所谓的针对移民的“敌对环境”。
in near-total secrecy, reinforcing the so-called hostile environment for immigration, according to research.
根据开放权利组织(ORG)的一份报告,该技术还被用于通过实时面部识别和人工智能驱动的无人机及卫星进行边境监控;总结庇护面谈及作为面谈证据的国家政策信息;并通过不透明的“识别并优先处理移民案件”(Ipic)工具对案件进行优先排序和评估。
Tasks from the detection of potential sham marriages to determining the age of asylum seekers and checking through the contents of phones of new arrivals now involve use of the technology, according to a report by Open Rights Group (ORG).
报告信息来源于内政部发布的有限公开信息、信息自由请求以及议员提问的混合渠道。该报告获得了跨党派支持,支持者包括工党的贝尔·里贝罗-阿迪、苏格兰民族党的皮特·威沙特和绿党的西安·贝里。
It is also being used to conduct surveillance of borders, through live facial recognition and AI-powered drones and satellites; to summarise asylum interviews and country policy information used as evidence in those interviews; and to prioritise and assess cases through the opaque Identify and Prioritise Immigration Cases (Ipic) tool.
这份题为《自动化歧视:拆解数字敌对环境》的报告对人工智能在移民领域的应用提出担忧,指出它并非中立或准确,并可能复制社会中存在的偏见和歧视,尤其是当其使用的关键驱动力是反移民政策和言论时。
Information for the report has been gathered from a mix of limited information published by the Home Office, freedom of information requests and questions from MPs. The report has cross-party support from Labour's Bell Ribeiro-Addy, the Scottish National party's Pete Wishart and the Green party's Siân Berry.
报告称,人工智能正在近乎完全的保密状态下接受试验和测试,官员们例行公事地以国家安全为由,拒绝回应信息自由请求并对披露内容进行删减。报告批评历届政府推行一种意识形态,将复杂的人类个案简化为可以通过技术手段解决的问题。
The report, titled Automated Discrimination: Unpacking the Digital Hostile Environment, raises concerns about the use of AI in immigration, saying it is not neutral or accurate and can replicate bias and discrimination within society, particularly when a key driver for its use is anti-immigration policies and rhetoric.
报告对“将人简化为数据点”以及复制特雷莎·梅于2012年担任内政大臣时首次设想的“敌对环境”表示担忧。报告指出:“依靠人工智能决定谁能留下来、谁被扔回危险之中,这是一个令人深感不安的举动。”
It says AI is being trialled and tested in near-total secrecy, with officials routinely invoking national security to stonewall freedom of information requests and redact disclosures. Successive governments are criticised for pushing an ideology that reduces complex human cases to a technical problem that can be fixed.
开放权利组织呼吁政府对人工智能进行监管,并禁止那些不民主且有侵犯人权风险的用途,例如在庇护申请中使用ChatGPT工具。
The report raises concerns about "reducing people to data points" and replicating the hostile environment first envisaged by Theresa May as home secretary in 2012. "Relying on AI to decide who gets to stay here and who gets thrown back into danger is a deeply alarming move," it states.
该组织还要求提高透明度、强化信息自由法、缩小国家安全的定义范围,并建立强有力的政府人工智能工具公众监督机制。
Open Rights Group is calling on the government to regulate AI and ban uses that are undemocratic and risk human rights violations, such as the use of ChatGPT tools in asylum applications.
里贝罗-阿迪表示:“尽管提出了问题和要求,内政部一直不愿发布能够解释人工智能如何用于庇护处理、存在哪些问题以及如何解决这些问题的文件。该部门未解释将如何在系统失效时确保问责,也未说明为何一些最脆弱、话语权最弱的人群,却要承担最大的风险。”
It also wants more transparency and stronger freedom of information laws, a narrower definition of national security and a robust public of government AI tools.
开放权利组织项目经理萨拉·阿尔谢里夫表示:“移民是一种人类现象和体验,而非可以用人工智能解决的技术问题。我们迫切需要透明度、问责制和严格监管,以限制人工智能的使用方式,并防止其进一步大规模推广。”
Ribeiro-Addy said: "In spite of questions and requests, the Home Office has been reluctant to publish the documents that would explain how AI is used in asylum processing, what the problems are and how they are being addressed. The department has not explained how it will ensure there is accountability when they fail or justified why some of the most vulnerable people, with the least power, should bear the greatest risks."
内政部发言人表示:“使用人工智能只是我们保护边境可用工具之一,并不取代或自动化人类决策者的角色。
Sara Alsherif, a programme manager at Open Rights Group, said: "Migration is a human phenomenon and experience, not a technical problem that can be fixed by artificial intelligence. We urgently need transparency, accountability and strict regulation to restrict how AI is used and to prevent its wider rollout." A Home Office spokesperson said: "Use of artificial intelligence is just one of the tools at our disposal to protect our borders and does not replace or automate the role of human decision-makers.
“庇护决定由受过培训的案件处理员作出,人工智能工具仅用于协助梳理面谈记录和政策信息。它们不能单独使用,也不对申请作出决定。
"Asylum decisions are made by trained caseworkers, with AI tools used only to assist in navigating interview records and policy information. They cannot be used in isolation and do not make decisions on claims.
“我们会在既定的质量保障流程之外,定期监测这些工具的性能,并已承诺发布关于其推广应用的最新评估报告。”
"We regularly monitor the performance of these tools alongside our established quality-assurance processes and have already committed to publishing updated evaluations on their rollout."
