在过去25年里，美国在南部边境沿线花费数十亿美元建造了一座由监控塔组成的“虚拟墙”，并承诺这将有助于发现和逮捕越境者，挽救生命。然而，MIT Technology Review 的一项开创性调查记录了超过一千人在这些塔楼监控的区域中穿行而未被拦截或逮捕，并最终在那里丧生。其中一些人甚至处于新安装的、旨在自动识别人形的 AI 驱动塔楼的监视之下。

我们的发现揭示了一场比以往所知更为明显的人道主义危机，以及虚拟墙基本安全承诺的反复失败。加入 MIT Technology Review 的编辑和记者，参与一场探讨边境监控技术失败原因并揭示在边境地区丧生者故事的对话。

The US has spent billions building a “virtual wall” of surveillance towers along its southern border over the past 25 years, promising they will help detect and apprehend border crossers and save lives. But a groundbreaking investigation by MIT Technology Review has documented over a thousand people who moved through areas watched by these towers without being reached or apprehended, and who ultimately died there. Some were even under the watch of newly installed AI-powered towers designed to spot people automatically.

Our findings reveal a humanitarian crisis more visible than previously known, and repeated failures of the virtual wall’s basic security promise. Join MIT Technology Review editors and reporters for a conversation examining the failures of border surveillance technology and uncovering the stories of the people who die in the borderlands.
