Israel's Health Ministry has completely blocked access to generative artificial intelligence tools in all hospitals, according to a first report. The move extends an earlier restriction reported by N12.
In a dramatic escalation of its policy, the Health Ministry has now completely blocked access to all generative AI tools on hospital computers, a source familiar with the directive told The Zioneer. The measure follows an earlier restriction — first reported by N12 at 04:43 Jerusalem — that blocked specific platforms including ChatGPT and Claude. As of Friday morning the block appears to be total, covering any web-based AI service, though the exact scope and enforcement mechanism have not been detailed. The ministry has not yet issued a public statement explaining the rationale.
