British holiday warning as tourists flying to Europe could face ‘lie detector’ test carried out by artificial intelligence – The US Sun

Tourists have been warned they could be hit with a “lie detector test” before being allowed into Europe.

Artificial Intelligence could disrupt tourists hoping to reach their dream vacation destination.

As reported by The Sunday Mailthe EU plan to strengthen border security after Brexit.

The successfully tested AI software would be able to track passengers’ body and facial movements inside airports as they fill out registration forms.

If the system detects a traveler acting strangely, an employee will be alerted to carry out further checks.

But experts have warned that this technology could pose a risk of discrimination against those who have disabilities.

Patrick Breyer, a German MEP, said of the AI ​​body language reader: “It will be discriminatory against anyone with a disability or who has an anxious personality.

“It will not work.”

‘Lie detector tests’ could be installed after the first wave of Entry-Exit Systems (EES).

This is scheduled to begin on October 6th.

At the same time, the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) is being introduced.

It is understood that the new software will be integrated into the two new systems.

The future of British travelers could even see an AI online immigration officer questioning them about their personal details and reason for traveling.

In a test, the technology even managed to search tourists’ social networks.

The system will track and analyze your eyes, body and facial expressions.

The information will then be checked against a database of people restricted from traveling, including terrorists.

All of this would be permitted by the Artificial Intelligence Law.

It comes as the EU is working on a mega database with 300 million records called the Common Identity Repository CIR – which will save data on every Briton entering the EU.

However, concerns have also been raised about the new entry/exit system, EES.

This will mean that Brits heading to EU and Schengen countries will no longer have their passports stamped.

Instead, the system will check passengers’ names, biometric data and entry and exit location.

British travelers will have to provide fingerprints as well as facial biometrics before arriving at the airport, ferry port or rail terminal from which they are scheduled to depart.

However, concerns have been raised about how long it will take for each passenger to be scanned in this way, with some authorities predicting an increase in processing times.

And eventually, Brits will also need a “visa exemption” to holiday in Europe, called the European Travel Information and Authorization System, ETIAS.

This visa only applies if the visit is less than 90 days – any longer than this will require different visas.

It is similar to the Electronic Travel Authorization System, ESTA, required to visit the USA.

However, despite plans for this to be introduced next year, it has been delayed until 2025.

The official website currently states: “Travel rules for Europe have changed.

“From mid-2025, around 1.4 billion people from more than 60 visa-exempt countries will be required to have a travel permit to enter most European countries.”
