Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping migration governance. Framed by algorithmic governmentality, this study examines AI systems across transit and destination countries, showing how they reconfigure classification and control by reducing personal experiences to risk profiles and enabling automated surveillance. Beyond this, it stresses the urgency of critical sociology to analyse AI-driven power shifts and shape human rights-based policies.
