The European Union is planning to introduce artificial intelligence-powered “lie detector tests” at its borders, sparking concerns about discrimination against travelers with disabilities. The AI software, which has been successfully trialled, tracks passengers’ body and face movements as they fill out application forms, and alerts staff if it detects unusual behavior. While the technology aims to strengthen border security following Brexit, experts warn that it could unfairly target individuals with disabilities or anxious personalities. The system, which could be installed as early as October, is part of a broader effort to digitalize EU borders, including the introduction of the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) and the Entry-Exit System (EES). Critics argue that the technology is flawed and could lead to unnecessary delays and discrimination.
