Migration to Asia Peace (MAP) is holding a refugee consultation for the renewal of Refugee News. The theme is ‘Refugees’ Right to Information in the Age of AI’. MAP recruited refugees living in Korea as panelists, and applications closed on Sunday 11 October 2026.

Background

It is not easy for refugees living in Korea to find the information and news they need on their own. MAP’s ‘Refugee News’ has delivered essential information for life in Korea in many languages since 2019.

These days, AI is used more and more to create and find information. MAP is expanding and rebuilding Refugee News so that more refugees can get reliable information and make good use of it. A dedicated Refugee News website with an AI chatbot is one part of this.

At this consultation, MAP will hear from refugees themselves about their experiences of using tools such as AI search and AI translation, and talk together about the difficulties they face in getting information. The opinions shared will be reflected in the renewal of Refugee News.
