Abstract

Abstract This article discusses real-world projects using algorithms to match resettled refugees with sponsors and services. The authors argue that when done right, algorithms can support larger-scale and better-informed resettlement. Ethically informed algorithmic matching and refugee resettlement Techno-scepticism and techno-optimism Research and advocacy around data and tech to manage international mobility can be divided into techno-sceptical and techno-optimistic camps. While the dichotomy is admittedly a broad heuristic, these parallel research tracks draw attention to the inherently dual-use function of any technology.
