Marco Rubio's State Department is launching the 'Catch and Revoke' initiative to utilize AI technology in monitoring the social media activities of foreign students. This program aims to identify individuals who may support Hamas and revoke their visas if found endorsing the group's actions. A review of the Student Exchange Visitor System indicated no visa revocations during the Biden administration, suggesting a lenient approach. Officials stress the importance of leveraging AI as an essential tool for enhanced national security monitoring.
The 'Catch and Revoke' initiative will use AI to examine social media of foreign students for signs of Hamas support and potentially revoke their visas.
It would be negligent for the department that takes national security seriously to ignore publicly available information about [visa] applicants in terms of AI tools.
