Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) and emerging technologies are becoming significant in migration governance by introducing innovative tools for managing and estimating mobility, enabling data-driven analysis, and improving policy efficiency. This article investigates how specific dynamic developments in AI technologies shapes EU-Turkiye relations within the realm of migration governance. It explores the EU’s strategies for AI integration, Turkey’s evolving practices, and the opportunities for collaboration, emphasizing shared interests while addressing the geopolitical complexities involved. Drawing on case studies and policy frameworks, the article argues that the adoption of new technologies in migration governance necessitates EU-Turkey cooperation, transcending the conventional framework of EU accession. The discussion highlights potential areas of collaboration, the anticipated benefits, and the challenges, including the security concerns and the ethical dilemmas surrounding human rights and privacy. By emphasizing shared interests, this study highlights the critical role of joint efforts in navigating the complexities of AI-driven migration governance while fostering more effective and equitable policy outcomes.
