Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday received the final report of the National Committee for Accelerating the Field of Artificial Intelligence, headed by Prof. (res. Brigadier General) Yaakov Nagel – the Nagel Committee.
The committee operated for four months and presented a national plan and defined a national goal to position Israel among the five leading countries in the world in AI, including establishing a national supercomputer.
Key highlights from the report:
The situation in Israel today:
• No coordinated national strategy in the field of AI.
• Fragmentation between government bodies, very low budgeting, decline in global rankings.
• Severe shortage of manpower, research, supercomputing, and adapted regulation.
