Abstract

Forced migration is a great challenge to the sustainability of cities, especially in India, which is a fast-urbanizing nation. The recent policy discussion has favored a growing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a governance mechanism to manage the migration flow, urban infrastructure, and service provision. This article critically analyses AI in managing forced migration and the implications of this on urban sustainability. It assesses the opportunities of AI-based systems when it comes to forecasting migration, Urban planning, and welfare allocation, and at the same time raises questions of data privacy, algorithmic bias, exclusion, and accountability. This study argues that although AI has the potential to improve urban resilience and efficiency, its uncontrolled usage is likely to increase the structural inequalities of forced migrants. This legal research adopts a doctrinal and critical approach in order to evaluate whether AI-based migration governance is consistent with constitutional principles, human rights norms, and the Sustainable Development Goals, especially SDG 11.
