"Esas controvertidas exenciones casan con la estrategia de defensa de la UE. Entre 2007 y 2022, Bruselas destinó 341 millones de euros a investigar las tecnologías de IA en las fronteras, según un informe de Statewatch, desde robots autónomos de control migratorio a enjambres de drones de videovigilancia. Esos fondos han financiado el despliegue de sistemas biométricos en España o el desarrollo de un sistema de predicción algorítmica de flujos migratorios desarrollado en Catalunya. "Europa se está fortificando de todas las formas posibles y la ley de la IA es clave para ir a más (...), una capa extra de la discriminación y violación flagrante de derechos que ya se da en la frontera", valora Judith Membrives, técnica de digitalización y experta en IA en Lafede.cat."
