When data doubles narrate asylum: the agency of government officials and asylum applicants in datafied asylum procedures
通过荷兰庇护程序中的智能手机筛查案例，研究数据化如何影响政府官员和庇护申请者的能动性，发现官员因效率提升而增强能动性，申请者则因数字替身代其叙事而受限，面临误述风险。
Governments are increasingly using digital data to support decision-making in different domains, including migration management. Whether datafication curtails or enables the agency of government officials and data subjects, and who ‘wins’ or ‘loses’ in this practice, is a much debated topic in public management. This case study into smartphone screening in the Dutch asylum procedure demonstrates varying levels of agency among stakeholders in creating and interpreting ‘data doubles’. Whereas government officials are enabled by efficiency and extra information resources, the agency of asylum seekers is generally curtailed when digital profiles narrate on their behalf, which presents new risks of misrepresentation.
