US to use AI to revoke visas of suspected pro-Hamas foreign students: Report

India Today  

The US State Department will use artificial intelligence to revoke visas of foreign students who it perceives as supporters of Palestinian Hamas militants, Axios reported on Thursday, citing senior State Department officials. Fox News separately reported that the State Department revoked the visa of a student who allegedly participated in what the department termed as "Hamas-supporting disruptions". The State Department did not comment directly on the reports, but Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on social media that the US "has zero tolerance for foreign visitors who support terrorists". President Donald Trump signed an executive order in January to combat antisemitism and has pledged to deport non-citizen college students and others who took part in pro-Palestinian protests that have been ongoing for months amid Israel's military assault on Gaza after Hamas' October 2023 attack.
