Welcome to the Israeli National AI Program. Our initiative, launched by the Israeli government, aims to harness the potential of artificial intelligence for economic growth, innovation, and societal advancement. Supported by pivotal documents like the Bery Report, Government Resolution No. 173, and Government Resolution No. 212, our program lays the groundwork for a thriving AI ecosystem.
The Bery Report, released in December 2020, serves as our strategic blueprint, highlighting AI’s transformative impact across various sectors. It underscores the importance of fostering AI research, cultivating a skilled workforce, and fostering collaboration among stakeholders. Moreover, it emphasizes the need for ethical guidelines to ensure responsible AI development and deployment.
Government Resolution No. 212, published on August 1st, 2021, further delineates policies and actions to propel AI adoption across sectors. It advocates for the integration of AI technologies into government services, healthcare, transportation, and agriculture to enhance efficiency and productivity. This resolution underscores the importance of monitoring and evaluating AI initiatives to gauge their effectiveness and societal impact.
Building upon Resolution No. 212, Government Resolution No. 173, issued on February 24th, 2023, outlines specific measures to advance our national AI agenda. This includes the establishment of AI research centres and the support of AI education and training programs. It highlights the government’s role in fostering an environment conducive to AI innovation and entrepreneurship, stressing the importance of international collaboration to leverage global AI expertise.
Our program aims to position Israel as a global leader in AI innovation and technology.
