In a controversial move, the US State Department is set to employ artificial intelligence to identify and revoke visas of foreign students perceived as supporters of Hamas. This decision has sparked concern among rights advocates and international student communities, who fear mass deportations and the negative impact on academic freedom. The policy, backed by officials including Marco Rubio, aims to target individuals with pro-Hamas sentiments, particularly those involved in campus protests related to the Israel-Palestine conflict. Reports indicate the first visa revocation has already occurred, raising alarms about potential repercussions for the international student population in the US.
