Amnesty International Non -Government Organization today accuses US authorities of violating human rights using artificial intelligence tools to monitor mass immigrants and foreign students in favor of Palestinians, with the backdrop of mobilizations against him. Israel’s War in the Gaza Strip, which still rage the “body -to -body” battles.
“It is deeply alarming that the US government is developing (…) technologies based on TN in the context of mass expulsion and suppression of expression in favor of Palestine,” said Erika Guevara-Inhava, head of the Department of Research at the International Amnesty International.
The use of such technologies leads to a “multitude of human rights violations”, he added.
Amnesty International for the use of IT tools, enhanced by artificial intelligence, created by Babel Street and Palantir, for the analysis of large -scale data and in real time. The two companies have secured contracts from the US government, especially in the areas of defense and espionage.
Their programs, Babel X and Immigration OS, respectively, “have automated capabilities that allow the identification, monitoring and valuation massively and permanently,” according to the NGO.
According to Amnesty International, technologies of its kind are used to target foreign students, refugees and asylum seekers “with a width without precedent”.
This translates’ into illegal arrests and mass deportationscreating a climate of fear and exacerbating the ‘paralytic impact’ to immigrants and foreign students in schools and campuses, ”insists Erika Guevara-Laid.
It is recalled that shortly after returning to the White House, the Donald Trumpbegan a campaign against higher education institutions, accusing them of letting their campuses blooming support movements to the Palestinians, a move he equates with anti -Semitism.
His government cut subsidies for scientific research in various institutions, arrested and threatened with expulsion of demonstrators in favor of the Palestinians, demanded to forbidden to Harvard to accept foreign students And he ordered the processing of passport visas to be suspended so that the presence of social networking sites can be passed by “sieve”.
Foreign students tell the French agency that they are now hesitant to go to study in the US, or worry if they have made publications – or have approved publications – in favor of the Palestinians or against US President Trump on digital platforms.

But “probability -based technologies used to draw conclusions about human intentions have enormous error room, they can often discriminate and be bought by prejudice, and may lead to incorrect content in favor of the Palestinians as anti -Semitic.”
At the same time, the US government has been raised into a large -scale anti -immigration attack.
The arrests have multiplied in all the US: the number of prisoners of the Federal Police Office responsible for Ice has reached the climax in June, with over 60,000 irregular migrants being detained.
To identify irregular immigrants, authorities use a tool created by Palantir, a company known for creating decision assisted programs – is the Israeli army as well as ICE.
