Since the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 in the United States, the association between migration and security has been continuously strengthened, with multiple States working to tighten their border controls. In the European Union (EU), this trend has been shown by the frequent overlap between asylum application and migration policies and the agenda concerning border control, security, and terrorism. This securitization of migration discourse is claimed to justify the use of controversial practices to examine asylum applications. Against this background, the article reflects on the use of technology-assisted and automated decisions in this area. In particular, it questions whether the existing safeguards provided in the EU data protection framework ensure asylum seekers’ rights to privacy and the protection of personal data. In doing so, the article seeks to offer a more nuanced understanding of European asylum policy and the potential flaws therein that allow individuals’ fundamental rights – enshrined in the EU Charter and the European Convention on Human Rights – to be infringed. In conclusion, the article engages with the debate relating to the use of automated decisions, in particular those based on artificial intelligence, and whether they should be excluded from certain policy areas, such as migration.

不成比例的监视：欧盟庇护申请中的技术辅助和自动决策？

自 2001 年 9 月 11 日美国发生恐怖袭击以来，移民与安全之间的联系不断加强，多个国家努力加强边境管制。在欧盟（EU），庇护申请和移民政策与边境控制、安全和恐怖主义议程之间的频繁重叠表明了这一趋势。据称，这种移民话语的安全化证明了使用有争议的做法来审查庇护申请是正当的。在此背景下，本文反思了在该领域中技术辅助和自动化决策的使用。特别是，它质疑欧盟数据保护框架中提供的现有保障措施是否确保寻求庇护者的隐私权和个人数据保护。在这样做，这篇文章旨在更细致地理解欧洲庇护政策以及其中可能导致个人基本权利受到侵犯的潜在缺陷——《欧盟宪章》和《欧洲人权公约》所载的权利。总之，本文涉及与使用自动化决策有关的辩论，特别是基于人工智能的决策，以及是否应将它们排除在某些政策领域（例如移民）之外。
