Xenophobia is shaping which human jobs AI targets first: refugee interpreters, not caseworkers. AP News reported that Rohingya refugees in Malaysia still face barriers to legal status, work, and schooling after fleeing persecution in Myanmar. Translation bots can process intake conversations, but they cannot decide protection or answer when officials reject a family. If interpreters disappear, who takes responsibility when an automated translation helps deny protection?
