US to use AI to track, revoke visas of students supporting Hamas

The United States Department announced a plan to introduce online artificial intelligence (AI) systems to detect international students backing Palestine-based resistance outfit Hamas and revoke their visas. The comprehensive approach will be carried out in collaboration with the Departments of Justice and



Homeland Security.

The AI-assisted operation, called “Catch and Revoke,” will examine social media accounts or pages of thousands of student visa holders. The AI algorithms will analyze contents posted on Facebook, X and Instagram to recognise material suggesting support for Hamas.
