U.S. to Use AI to Revoke Foreign Student Visas Linked to Hamas Support
The State Department, under Marco Rubio, launches an AI-driven initiative to monitor social media and revoke visas of students suspected of supporting designated terrorist groups.
- The 'Catch and Revoke' program leverages AI to analyze social media activity of foreign students for signs of Hamas support or other violations.
- Additional reviews will include past arrests, school suspensions, and media reports on anti-Israel demonstrations involving foreign students.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized zero tolerance for foreign visitors supporting designated terrorist groups, citing national security concerns.
- The initiative follows President Trump's executive orders targeting antisemitism and threatening federal funding cuts for universities allowing 'illegal protests.'
- Rights groups have raised concerns about potential free speech violations, errors, and privacy issues stemming from the use of AI in monitoring.
