Rights advocates concerned by reported US plan to use AI to revoke student visas

The U.S. State Department plans to utilize artificial intelligence to revoke visas of foreign students perceived as supporters of Hamas. This initiative has raised significant concerns among rights advocates regarding free speech and privacy rights. The AI-driven approach, termed 'Catch and Revoke,' will analyze social media accounts of thousands of visa holders.

Critics argue that AI tools are inadequate for understanding the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) emphasizes that AI cannot effectively interpret nuanced expressions related to such sensitive issues. The implications of this policy could lead to a chilling effect on free speech among international students.

• US plans AI use for revoking student visas linked to Hamas support.

• Rights advocates express concerns over AI's role in free speech assessments.
