Israel's Health Ministry has blocked access to generative AI tools — including ChatGPT, Claude, and others — on all hospital computers, according to an initial report by N12.
In a sweeping move reported early Friday, Israel's Ministry of Health has blocked access to generative artificial intelligence tools — such as ChatGPT and Claude — across all hospital computer systems in the country, according to a first report by N12 journalist Yoav Even. The directive, which applies to both desktop and networked hospital terminals, effectively restricts medical and administrative staff from using consumer- and enterprise-level large language models on ministry-managed devices. The precise reasoning behind the decision has not been detailed in the initial report. It follows broader global concerns among healthcare regulators regarding data privacy, patient confidentiality, and potential clinical reliance on unverified AI outputs — though no official ministry statement has been released at this hour.
