The 14th World Conference of the International Association of Refugee and Migration Judges (IARMJ) in Nairobi, Kenya, addressed the critical roles of AI and maintaining integrity within refugee systems. President William Ruto highlighted the promise of AI in streamlining asylum processes but cautioned against its biases, emphasizing the necessity of human oversight.

• Kenya hosts at least 580,000 refugees and asylum seekers, with 53 percent from Somalia.
• The High Court in July 2023 ordered a change in citizenship law to recognize children born to Kenyan and refugee parents as Kenyan citizens.
• The World Bank developed an AI-powered refugee forecasting system, piloted in Uganda, to predict displacement based on conflict and climate data.
