Digital Frontiers in the Battle Against Violence and Forced Migration: A Bibliometric Analysis of Emerging Technologies and Data-Driven Solutions

The given paper is a bibliometric analysis of the digital tools applied in the context of managing migration-related violence and forced displacement. All the factors of growing instability in the political, climate change, and economic inequality, have increased the occurrence of migration, usually with violence and humanitarian crisis. In reply, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), blockchain, and remote sensing are emerging technologies being incorporated in the migration management approaches. Though, there is a serious gap in the comprehension of their overall effect and morality still, even though their development is rather steep. The main idea of the research is to perform a methodical review of academic sources to analyse the applicability of digital tools to solve the problem of violence and enhance migration governance. In the analysis, the author reviews the major technological developments, trends, co-citation networks and how migration studies have intersected with technological interventions. The evidence shows that there are increased scholarly interests in electronic solutions especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, and the attention has shifted towards AI and mobile applications in forecasting migration, border security, and social inclusion. Nevertheless, such issues like digital inequality, concern of data privacy, and algorithmic biases are still in the limelight of the discussion. The paper ends by identifying the theoretical, practical, and ethical consequences of the incorporation of digital tools into migration policies and requesting the future research that considers a balance between technological advancement and human rights to be preserved.
