On this edition of Your Call, we’ll talk about how the Trump administration's crackdown on immigrants is both powered by— and enriching—cutting edge technology companies. From drones to robo-dogs to AI powered lie detector tests; untested tech tools are being rolled out in cities and on the border. We’ll be joined by a Chicago advocate for government transparency, and the author of a book about migration and artificial intelligence.
Guests:
Petra Molnar, Associate Director of the Refugee Law Lab at York University, and author of The Walls Have Eyes: Surviving Migration in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Alejandro Ruizesparza, co-director of the Lucy Parsons Labs in Chicago
