Chairman Yossi Arablich expressed satisfaction that Director General Moshe Bar Siman Tov adopted his recommendation.
According to Yoav Even of N12, the Health Ministry's decision to completely block generative AI tools in all Israeli hospitals came approximately one year after a Knesset Health Committee hearing initiated by the 'Lema'anchem' organization. At that hearing, the group's doctors, Prof. Yosef Peres and Dr. Gadi Neuman, warned of daily errors caused by uncontrolled use of AI by medical staff.
Chairman Yossi Arablich expressed satisfaction that Director General Moshe Bar Siman Tov adopted his recommendation. As The Zioneer reported on Friday, the directive fully blocks AI access across all Israeli hospitals, extending an earlier restriction.
