  • Summary

    Algorithmic governmentality at the border has gained attention in recent years on debates around migration. Within these debates, algorithmic risks and limitations have triggered contestations and mobilised campaigns given the harmful consequences they generate at the racialised border, such as automated bias and discrimination, privacy or surveillance. Yet this chapter invites us to critically interrogate how algorithmic governmentality at the border invisibilises, fosters and recrafts these racialised mechanisms. By theoretically building on Foucault’s repressive hypothesis about power relations, we analyse two case studies that show how algorithmic governmentality has transformed the ways in which power is exercised and resistance is enacted at the border. This chapter concludes that in order to truly engage with a critical perspective on algorithmic governmentality, we should start from the consideration that the border still enacts racialised mechanisms.
