Four-legged machines equipped with cameras and sensors would join a network of drones and automated surveillance towers nicknamed the 'smart wall'. This is part of a worldwide trend: as more people are displaced by war, economic instability, and a warming planet, more countries are turning to AI-driven technology to 'manage' the influx.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBased on years of researching borderlands across the world, lawyer and anthropologist Petra Molnar's \u003ci\u003eThe Walls Have Eyes\u003c\/i\u003e is a truly global story – a dystopian vision turned reality, where your body is your passport and matters of life and death are determined by algorithm.
