In this episode of The SciTech Lawyer Perspective, Host Aaron Gothelf sits down with immigration attorney James Chesser and Kit Walsh of the Electronic Frontier Foundation to discuss James’ Immigration and Human Rights Law Review article, “The Expanding Digital Border: AI, Surveillance, and the fight for Justice.” The episode explores how borders are evolving into AI-driven “digital filters” that predict risk and intent, reshaping what it means to cross and raising urgent questions about accountability. The speakers examine whether these systems make immigration fairer or simply more opaque—and whether their errors are becoming harder to challenge.
