NML Research Projects
A strategic model to increase the efficiency and the impact of immigrant integration services at the national level by using AI and Big Data Analysis
The objective of this research is to identify and realign overlaps in immigrant integration services to increase the efficiency and impact of the overall system while reducing costs. The study also illustrates how AI and Big Data Analysis can be used as strategic tools without conflicting with the privacy and human rights of immigrants and community. The research covers the conceptual introduction of the proposed model which is based on the contributions of various stakeholders of immigrant integration phenomena including immigrants, service providers, facilitators, government, and community representatives.
