Oh no, foreigners who support an organization that calls for the death of my countrymen and holds many hostage will be expelled to their home countries. It truly is a dystopian world.

Maybe the point is that the trait "supporting Hamas" will be judged by AI.

The article is pretty scant on details in terms of how the judgment would be made but using AI to process for an initial review followed by a final human review seems like a slam dunk choice imo

Is there going to be a review of the false positive and false negative rates? Will the humans review negative and positive results equally well? Will any of the process be transparent?

Exactly what will the humans review?

Why are you asking me? I already said this article that half of HN is raging at is scant on any detail. If you don’t know the answers to these questions, which would make sense because this article basically says nothing, and it’s important to you you should probably look into it.

Of course saying "stop the genocide" will be interpreted as supporting hamas.

Question is, are you ok with this interpretation or not?

It's quite interesting how when americans wake up comments like that go from upvoted to downvoted.
Re:US deploys AI to revoke visas of foreign nationals suppor... by creddit on Friday March 07, 2025 @10:29AM (#43290928)
Maybe it’s downvoted because it’s an unsupported assumption you made and Americans are uniquely capable of recognizing that?

I notice how you reply to this but not to where you stand. I guess we know where you stand.
Re:US deploys AI to revoke visas of foreign nationals suppor... by creddit on Friday March 07, 2025 @11:20AM (#43291447)
I don’t engage with people who make unsupported statements with rhetorical aims on their own terms.

Yes I'm on the "against genocides" team.

Is this about the security of the USA or the security of our greatest ally?
Re:US deploys AI to revoke visas of foreign nationals suppor... by StayTrue on Friday March 07, 2025 @04:20AM (#43288549)
My reaction to this comment is surely Canada or Mexico is the greatest ally of the USA. But, indeed, that may no longer be true under Trump.

I still think it’s France. There’s a good reason for so many cities being named Lafayette
Re:US deploys AI to revoke visas of foreign nationals suppor... by creddit on Friday March 07, 2025 @10:31AM (#43290947)
I would be interested to hear how expelling Hamas supporters from the United States is at all beneficial to France.

They have no problem with US holocaust deniers.
Re:US deploys AI to revoke visas of foreign nationals suppor... by cookiemonsieur on Friday March 07, 2025 @03:58AM (#43288445)
They certainly have no problem sending billions of tax payer money and sign missiles to m*rder children.

I think the point here is to prime the public for this discriminatory use of AI. Today it's "bad hamas", tomorrow it can be whatever the current government deems "bad". And by then, it'll be too late.

You can say “murder” here. This isn’t TikTok

Money is the only free thing in America

so an American citizen’s freedom is directly correlated with their net worth in USA dollars

Re:US deploys AI to revoke visas of foreign nationals suppor... by ninalanyon on Friday March 07, 2025 @04:14AM (#43288518)
Your second sentence is pretty much true everywhere, just the strength of the correlation varies. Even in places that try to be even handed the simple fact that a wealthy person has more resources makes them freer.
