(In)visibility Paradox: Artificial Intelligence, Sociotechnical Imaginaries, and Older Migrants in Australia
Earvin Charles B. Cabalquinto, Monash University

Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems have become increasingly embedded in people’s everyday personal, social and economic lives. While such advanced communication tools afford a range of benefits across different settings, they also raise concerns especially for vulnerable individuals in contemporary digital societies. In this provocation, I attempt to interrogate the visibility and invisibility operationalised by AI systems – such as recommender systems and conversational AI – in the lives of older migrants. AI-driven apparatuses render individuals visible, enabling data tailoring and prediction. However, complementing a growing body of research on AI and ageing older migrants become invisible or partially visible in AI settings.
