As artificial intelligence moves deeper into global mobility and immigration workflows, a critical question emerges for employers: where should automation end and human judgment begin? AI tools can now triage cases, flag missing documents, and surface potential visa pathways, but immigration decisions carry legal and personal stakes that still demand careful oversight.

Her perspective offers HR and mobility leaders advice for adopting AI responsibly, so that it captures efficiency gains without losing sight of the discretion, evolving regulations, and individual circumstances that shape real immigration outcomes.
