“With a focus on migration, technology, and human rights, we actively interrogate tech experiments on people crossing borders.
Our mission is to monitor surveillance technologies, automation, and the use of Artificial Intelligence to screen, track, and make decisions about people on the move. The Monitor’s aim is to highlight the far reaching impacts that these procedures and policies have on people’s rights and lives and to support communities doing work on these issues.”

“Technology replicates power structures in society. Unfortunately, the viewpoints of those most affected are routinely excluded from the discussion. At the Monitor, we attempt to change this — both by giving space to the experiences of people directly affected by border tech experiments as well as by investigating and interrogating how these technologies are playing out on the ground.
Our primary goal is impact — impact to share knowledge, destabilize structures of hierarchical power, and create space for participatory work at the intersection of migration, technology, and human rights. Research for research’s sake is not our goal. Instead, we connect rigorous analysis with meaningful policy and advocacy goals, using innovative methodologies to get the public, media, and policy makers interested and involved in these issues.“
