Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu launched the national artificial intelligence plan on Monday, saying AI is not just another technology but a world-changing force. 'We will ensure Israel's future, security, and prosperity as a global AI power,' he said.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu launched Israel's national artificial intelligence plan on Monday, describing the initiative as a strategic move to position the country as a global leader in the field. 'We stand at the threshold of a new era. Artificial intelligence is not just another technology — it will change the world,' Netanyahu said at the launch event.
The government initially approved the national AI plan in June, according to official statements. The plan includes the establishment of advanced AI infrastructure, a national quantum computer, workforce training, and integration of AI into the public sector. Today's rollout at the Prime Minister's Office marks the public launch of a multi-year strategy intended to boost Israel's competitiveness and security capabilities.
The announcement follows a series of recent AI-related developments. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently said humanity has entered the age of the singularity where AI surpasses human abilities, while US President Donald Trump stated that winning the AI race will be the decisive factor in global influence. Israel's plan aims to build on its strong high-tech sector to compete with leading AI powers.
