Short abstract
The project studies the representations and accepted knowledge used by coders, computer engineers and political decision makers, as a basis for deploying AI-based technologies in the field of border control and immigration. It seeks thereby, to understand the foundations of knowledge needed, in order to relate to the increasing complexity of artificial intelligence technologies, in a legitimate, social and politically meaningful way.
